A Halloween caper gone wrong has social media in stitches. A video on Reddit shows a group of college girls tracking down a Halloween costume thief who stole from their front porch. Captured by a motion detector, the clip shows the thief, an older man on a bicycle, swiping the package before leisurely pedaling away. He’s met with instant karma, however, as the girls jump into action. They trail him in their car and demand he return the packages.
The girls’ determination to retrieve their Halloween gear was fierce. The video captures the group spotting the man just down the road and shouting, “I’m calling the police. Give me the f***ing package back!” Reddit commenters were quick to celebrate their enthusiasm, with one quipping, “Don’t mess with a college girl’s Halloween.”
In the heat of the moment, one of the girls yells, “Drop the package, scum!” Astonishingly, the Halloween costume thief complies. He tosses the package before sheepishly pedaling right past his pursuers. It’s a sitcom-worthy scene as the girls retrieve their package, only to shout after him, “Get a job, Grandpa!”
The viral clip has fueled conversation about porch piracy and DIY justice. Many Reddit users cheered on the young women, with one user saying, “These girls weren’t taking it. Fight back!” Another pointed out the cost of costumes and why they’d be worth retrieving, noting, “They can get mad expensive, I don’t blame ’em.” One commenter likened the girls’ adventure to something out of the “Babysitters Club,” calling them “pajama-clad crime fighters.”
The video ends with the police arriving, much to the satisfaction of the crowd online. The Halloween costume thief will likely be getting a crash course in porch etiquette. As one Reddit user put it, “Glad it ended like a sitcom and not like a Netflix B-movie!”
The incident stands as a humorous reminder not to underestimate college girls defending their holiday gear. Reddit was flooded with appreciation for their tenacity, with one user commenting, “Scooby and the gang solve mysteries.” Another joked, “Hot girl autumn is just retribution it seems, which is fair.” In a time when package theft is on the rise, these college girls’ quick thinking and relentless pursuit has turned them into social media icons of Halloween justice. Would-be porch pirates everywhere beware!
