Suspect steals package, leaves behind Bible at Southern California home

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].
