Post Halloween Thief

[HMC8403]

I don’t like keeping leftover candy in the house so I’ve kept a bowl of goodies outside my front door for the mailman, Amazon driver, landscapers, kids walking to school and anyone else walking by.

The bowl was full when I left yesterday and completely empty when I returned home a couple hours later, plus empty wrappers thrown everywhere. My Ring doorbell didn’t pick up anything but my Dahua did its job and caught the culprit.

Is it squirrel hunting season where you live

That way you can legally shoot the thief LOL

Heck, the little bastid tree rat buried one in the mulch at the base of that shrub to the left of your porch (facing the door) at the :55 mark!
Looks like he buried several on the other side as well from the beginning.
He's got plans for coming back when it's cold and food is scarce and satisfy his sweet tooth probably.
