Chunky squirrel steals pricey holiday treats
- 6 years ago
MAPLEWOOD, NEW JERSEY — An American squirrel — aka a real fat one — was caught on camera nabbing expensive chocolates and some lip balm from a Jersey family's porch.
Every year, the Boudreaux family leaves out a bundle of Christmas, sorry, holiday treats for delivery people on their doorstep. They put out candy, snacks, tissues, hand warmers and other treats.
Michele Boudreaux said they've never had any issues until this year when she noticed the basket was raided shortly after she placed it outside.
She said the thief was only taking the expensive treats, including 25 Ghirardelli chocolate squares.
The family put up a hidden camera to see if they could catch the perpetrator in action. They were more than a little surprised to see it was actually a super chunky squirrel.
Michele then later actually ran into Chunk mid-heist and watched him clear out their chocolate yet again. Oh yeah, he also took a Carmex lip balm.
The chocolate has now been placed in a jar, but Michele still leaves out some squirrel treats for Chunk too.
