GOLDILOCKS' HOUSE — Imagine this scenario: You place an order on Amazon.com. It's something you're excited to get. Or maybe it's something you just really need. You're eligible for two-day shipping, so you know your package is going to arrive in a couple of days.
Still, you get online and track the shipping so you know exactly when to expect it. Then, you wake up one morning and you have an email waiting in your inbox announcing that your package was delivered overnight. "Perfect!" you think and run to your front porch to grab it.
But when you open your door, there's nothing there. It must be a mistake. "Where's my package?" you ask.
For a lot us, this scenario is not too hard to imagine. Because we've been there. Package thievery is a crime and one that happens all too often. So a lot of people have come up with ways to catch the package thieves, like security cameras or exploding boxes (don't try that one).
But when a man in Alaska went to check his security cameras after a package was stolen from his front porch, he found out the thief who had taken his Amazon package was an unlikely culprit: a group of three bears.
Now, I don't know what was in those Amazon packages, but I know it must have been very appealing to this bear family. In the security camera footage recorded early Monday when the incident happened, you can see the bears approaching the boxes, sniffing them and looking around to see if anyone's coming. They're really staking out the situation because as we all know, bears are smart and terrifying.
Eventually, the bears run off with the box, never to be seen again, I assume. Maybe they thought this was Goldilocks' house and they were out for revenge. Maybe they were just hungry for whatever was inside of the box. Whatever the reason for the thievery, the video is amazing and is a good reminder to watch your backs at all times because bears are trying to take over the world.
