Heidi Burrows from San Jose, California was grateful she returned home in time to catch would-be thieves leaving her driveway. As she was pulling into her driveway, she stopped them dead in their tracks. The thieves had no idea they had been filmed on surveillance the entire time as well.
A middle-aged woman walked up to Heidi Burrow’s porch and brazenly stole a large package in broad daylight. Security cameras were rolling the entire time, and Burrows was on her way home.
As the woman runs down the yard, package in hand, a man pulls up in an SUV as her getaway vehicle. She throws the box in the car, hops in the back seat, and confident she just had a successful heist.
Coincidentally, Burrows had pulled up just as they were about to pull away. She started honking furiously at the dark SUV.
“I’m screaming, saying a few choice cuss words!” Burrows said to CBS Local. “I was very keyed up. I said ‘I’m going to take your picture, I’m going to call the cops!’”
The couple who was attempting to make a break with her package ended up tossing it out the window after Burrows blocked them in.
Before the thieves were able to speed off, Burrows took a picture of the car and wrote down their license plate. She didn’t think twice about confronting the criminals, it was almost like instinct.
“I was just so upset that someone was stealing a box. My only thought was to block them so I could get a picture,” she said. “I know it was probably very ignorant of me because you never know with people nowadays.”
She called the police, however, a report was not filed due to the fact that they “returned” the package.
So, what was in the package that they wanted so badly?
“They would have been so disappointed because inside the box is a box of tape and some packing tissue for my work.”
It’s incredible to think that people would have the nerve to steal something from someone’s house “just because.” Not to mention, the contents inside were only important to Ms. Burrows. She had to be absolutely infuriated.
Hopefully, Heidi Burrow’s security camera footage can bring about some justice. In the meantime, we’re glad she got her package back.
