Morrow said he was at work when the thief stole the package. He got the notification from his security system and he watched it all on his phone. 

“I actually couldn’t believe he was that stupid,” said Morrow. 

At first Morrow was upset, but then decided take advantage of the power of social media.

He posted the video on his Facebook page and got several tips about who the suspect might be.

Morrow noted that the suspect might be disappointed about what is inside the package. 

 “It was actually some floor paint and a water hose. I’m doing a renovation project for my 83-year-old mother,” said Morrow.
