The porch pirates who stole packages from a family in Texas last week returned to the same house, but this time their mission was to return the boxes they had previously snagged.
Packages are often stolen from porches at Christmas, but they are very rarely returned.
“Honestly, it was shocking. You don’t expect someone to steal something from you and give it back to you,” owner Bryant Clark told FOX 26. “These are for our two nieces and my nephew.”
The items will now go under Clark’s Christmas tree. He said that he and his wife did not think they would see them again.

The home’s doorbell camera caught the porch hackers in action minutes after the packages were delivered to the door.
“The fact that they were able to say, ‘Okay, we’re going to step up, even in fear and do the right thing,’ is important,” Clark said. “I have to respect the level of courage in that. I’ve been a young man before. I’ve made dumb decisions. I think we all have. I think grace is something that’s given when it’s not deserved, and we have to give it.” it’s.”

“I’m proud of those young girls who did that and their parents for saying ‘hey, you made a mistake, you don’t say it’s right, but you have to correct it to some extent,'” Clark said.
Clark and his wife accepted the apology after a lengthy conversation with the girls.
“Change is possible,” Clark said. “Regardless of where you start, it’s how you end and everyone deserves a little grace. God gave it to us. We have to give it to others.”
