An opossum “porch pirate” has been captured on video in Texas stealing a 15-year-old’s field of birthday cookies from the entrance door of his household’s house.

The incident on Jan. 26 occurred after the “gift came a little late in the evening when the fam was probably out celebrating, so it went unnoticed into the night… which set up a seemingly impossumable theft,” the Southlake Division of Public Security says.

Video launched by authorities exhibits an opossum wandering up to the doorway of the residence after which dragging away the field of treats after eradicating a blue birthday balloon hooked up to the package deal.

“When you leave out deliveries for a while, you always risk the chance that a sneaky porch pirate might waltz up to your door and gank your stuff,” the Southlake Division of Public Security mentioned. “Often, the thief is human (and we post pix of them here), but once in a while…”

“Just like humans, there’s probably a lot of great opossums, but this story features an opossum that decided to break the law in its own way. That ticks us off. Get it? Cause opossums normally eat ticks, not cookies,” authorities in Southlake joked.
