Doorbell camera captures BOLD daylight theft of 14ft. lawn skeleton!

There are just some crimes in the world that make you scratch your head and ask “why?”

A $50 reward has been offered for any information leading to the safe return of a 14-foot tall skeleton that was removed from an Austin, Texas home’s lawn last Saturday.

Ring doorbell footage shows a large white SUV parked on the curb right next to the gargantuan decoration. A person gets out, pops the back hatch, and approaches the skeleton as if they are going to somehow get it to fit in their vehicle.

Clearly, this was a spur-of-the-moment crime, as someone who had thought about it for more than a minute would realize it would take a much larger vehicle to transport it.

Watch:

This must be the quietest neighborhood in America, because at no point did anyone walk by, look out the window or call the police to alert them that there is a skeleton stealer afoot. Unfortunately, the footage ends before we can figure out just how the bungling burglar made off with their ill-gotten bones.

While this crime is obviously a huge violation of the home owner’s privacy, as well as theft of their property, the comical element was not lost on social media:
