ALBAWABA - When it comes to theft, criminals often tend to come up with creative methods and various disguises to help them carry out their activities. However, the recent story of a unique thief in California stands out among the rest, as it heavily involves a garbage bag.

Taking place in the state of California, this cunning thief came up with a very unusual method of stealing packages from the doorsteps of unsuspecting homes. The method was simple, all he needed was a garbage bag, and his disguise was complete. After getting into his makeshift disguise, he'll go after the packages he has his eyes on.

When asked if he intended to report the thief captured by surveillance cameras taking off with a package from his doorstep, homeowner Omar Gabriel Munoz responded with a touch of amusement. Munoz, finding humor in the situation, opted not to condemn the thief, but instead marveled at their disguise.

Upon discovering that his packages had gone missing, Munoz decided to review the footage captured by his home cameras. To his surprise, he saw a garbage bag eerily shuffling near his door, with two white slippers emerging from beneath it.

Upon closer inspection, Munoz realized that the thief had concealed themselves inside the bag, using it as a makeshift disguise to approach the package without being noticed. Rather than alerting the authorities, Munoz chose to share the footage online, expressing admiration for the thief's inventive tactics.

In the video clip Munoz, the thief was seen in his makeshift disguise, though his mismatched footwear failed to blend with the bag's color.
