A homeowner in Sacramento was in for a surprise when he checked his surveillance system. He came across a thief disguised as a garbage bag.

“A thief disguised in a garbage bag slowly walked up and grabbed someone’s package off their porch. Happened on Northwood Road,” an Instagram user wrote while sharing the clip.

The video shows an unassuming scene with a garbage bag in front of a house. However, the scene soon turns interesting when the bag starts moving. As the clip progresses, the thief sneakily moves towards a package lying on a porch and grabs it before running away.

Homeowner Omar Munoz, who saw the incident later on his surveillance system, told ABC10, “You see the bag coming to my door. At first, I thought they were messing with me”.

“At first, I was kind of angry because it was something I was expecting. But at the end of the day, it was kind of funny,” he added. "I take everything in the good way because that’s part of life. If you see the bad way of everything, you’re going nowhere,” he further explained.
