A pair of package thieves who were caught with a Ring doorbell camera in South Jersey were apparently angry when they found video of their heist online.
Gloucester Township police shared a Dec. 9 video showing two men approaching a home in the Independence Square Townhomes neighborhood of Sicklerville just after 6:30 p.m. In the doorbell video, a pirate in a white hoodie grabs a package from the front door while the other person taunts the camera by “twerking” before they both run away.
Police said the items in the package, which included baby items and several glasses, were valued at $74.

According to the department, the homeowner posted a video of the theft on the Ring Neighbors app to warn residents to be on the lookout.
It seems the sticky-fingered duo somehow found out the footage had been posted online because they returned to the same house two nights later.
In another clip shared by police from Dec. 11, one of the suspects, wearing a sweatshirt with “Hollywood” written on the bottom, runs toward the camera and holds up his phone with the original theft video on the screen. “Come on, not cool!” the thief says into the camera. “That’s my… on the Internet!”

The suspect runs away, but returns several minutes later to return one of the stolen glass vases, which was broken.
“You can’t make this up,” police said.
