A suspected thief may need some divine intervention after allegedly stealing a package from a Southern California home—and leaving a Bible in its place.
The incident was captured on a home security camera in Irvine last month.
Police said the woman, wearing an official-looking blue vest, pulled up to a home on Alexandria Street in a vehicle that appeared to have flame decals.
Footage posted to the Irvine Police Department’s Instagram account, set to smooth jazz, shows her walking to the front porch with a Bible in one hand, placing it at the door, then picking up a large cardboard box and returning to her car.
Comments on the post quickly reflected the irony:
-
“Is that really ‘The Lord’s work?’”
-
“I think she needed that Bible more than the package.”
-
“She said: you don’t need this… you need Jesus.”
Anyone who recognizes the woman is asked to contact Irvine Police Detective Baskin at [email protected].
