D.A. OF THE DAY - 12/12


THIEF WHO STEALS CANDY TURNS OUT TO BE SQUIRREL 
A family in New Jersey wanted to show appreciation for the delivery drivers during this time of year, so they set out a tray filled with candy, lip balm, tissues and hand warmers. To their dismay, they found the tray had been gone through and all the good stuff taken just a few hours after they put it out.

Perplexed, the Boudreaux family couldn't figure out why someone would do such a thing, so they set up small video camera to find out what was gong on. Sure enough, just hours after they replenished the supply of goodies, the tray had been ransacked again.

Eager to find out who was doing such a deed, the couple checked the video and discovered that a cute but mischievous squirrel was the one causing all the trouble. 

It didn't take long to squirrel-proof the goodies. The chocolate is now in a jar that the squirrel has not been able to get into - yet.

PACKAGE THIEVES GETTING MORE CREATIVE
 A package thief in Denver, Colorado has figured out a way to bypass the homeowner's cameras when they arrive to whisk a package that is not theirs away.

This particular thief just dresses as a Minion from "Despicable Me," complete with a head piece that doesn't leave authorities much room to identify the person inside. 

The homeowner said the package, which was a Christmas gift for her daughter, has been delivered by the U.S. Postal Service just minutes before it was snatched.

MANNEQUIN SPOTTED BY POLICE AS CARPOOL PASSENGER 

An alert police officer was not fooled by the pretty blonde wearing sunglasses and a red sweater sitting in the passenger seat of "friend's" vehicle while traveling in the carpool only lane.

Turns out his suspicions were correct, as the 'woman' turned out to be a very well-dressed mannequin with bright red lipstick. The woman driving the vehicle had been pulled over when the officer noted that her "passenger" did not qualify her to drive in the carpool lane.

The Office of Constable Ted Heap, Harris County Constable Pct. 5, posted a photo of the mannequin on its Facebook page, noting, "This mannequin may have saved the driver on time and a $3.20 toll fee today, but it will cost her a day of work for court and up to $150 in legal fines."

It's not the first time a mannequin has been used to try to beat the carpool lane rules, and again, it happened because the driver was stopped. In Washington state, a driver was stopped for speeding and it was discovered that his blonde passenger was indeed a mannequin. 

The good thing about both stops - both drivers and their passengers were wearing their seat belts.
