An opossum "porch pirate" has been captured on video in Texas stealing a 15-year-old's box of birthday cookies from the front door of his family’s home.
The incident happened after the "gift came a little late in the evening when the family was probably out celebrating, so it went unnoticed into the night… which set up a seemingly impossumable theft," the Southlake Department of Public Safety says.
Video released by authorities shows an opossum wandering up to the entrance of the residence and then dragging away the box of treats after removing a blue birthday balloon attached to the package.


The cookies were from Tiff's Treats Cookie Delivery, which saw the video and offered to replace the treats for free.

@MorningLover Thanks for the laugh this morning, that is hilarious!
We once had a fox pick up a suet feeder on the ground that a squirrel had knocked down. He just picked it up in his mouth by the handle and walked away with it. So funny!

That's so funny but I bet that opossum is just needing food for her babies. This is the time of year when they start giving birth.

What a good ending to a cute story. We have a ring camera set up near our back entrance and ramp. Lately the bunnies have been out .............I think it might be mating season with one chasing the other around.
