The woman ran toward the direction of her getaway car, which had a door open for her. They both took off around the corner, where it appeared she got in the car.
“I got you on video, and your plates,” the homeowner said. He watched the car drive off before heading home.

“She will rethink those flip flops on her next crime spree,” a TikToker reasoned. “Get some running shoes, pirate.”
Another viewer would have had fun with the situation. “If I were him, I would have yelled ‘Hey! That’s my new PS5!’ Just so she would try harder to carry the bricks,” they said.
“Kind of a shame they still couldn’t catch her, despite her poor choice of shoes,” another viewer added. “I get that they were focusing more on the camera [it was pretty stable] and probably trying to spook her into not doing it again, but still.”
Others had comments like, “The getaway driver’s survival instincts kicked in,” and “Congrats on your free bag.”
“She must have thought she won the jackpot by the weight of the package Lol,” a viewer joked.
Another hoped the homeowner alerted authorities. “Please tell me you reported their plates to the police,” they said.
“That’s an excellent way to get yourself shot,” another TikToker wrote about the situation.
