A friend left a balloon and a box of cookies on the doorstep of a home in Southlake, Texas to celebrate a 15 year old's birthday. But all the family found was the balloon and some icing, along with the ripped open box of cookies in the yard.
A hungry porch pirate? Sort of.
A check of the security camera revealed the culprit-- a possum!
The local police department reminded residents to use security cameras to "go marsupi-all in on protecting your home from thieves."
