DENVER (KDVR) — A couple in Centennial, Colorado is not concerned about a package that was stolen from their porch, but about the man taking a child with him to steal it. The whole incident was caught on camera Thursday evening.
Crosby Moresco and his wife moved into the neighborhood back in October. They said they were drawn in by the area’s high safety score, which they thought would be a great place to start a family.
But he intends to make sure his family doesn’t act like the one that came to his porch on Thursday evening. His wife first noticed an alert on their doorway camera that someone had come up.
When they looked at the footage, they saw a man and a child stealing a package from their porch. As they leave, you can hear the child say, “No, you’re the one stealing them.”
“Quite a shocking incident to see on our camera,” said Moresco.
He called the action bold and said he was home and his car was even in the driveway. The package stolen was a gift from their baby registry.
“We’re expecting our first child and to have it be some things that are for our brand new baby coming it stings a little more,” said Moresco.
He has greater concerns, however.
“The most important thing is not the package but just making sure that any child is not kind of put in a situation like that that could be potentially very dangerous,” he said.
Moresco worried about the child in the video potentially joining the man in stealing from a more dangerous location.
“Coming up to random people’s houses, not knowing who they are. Coming to steal a package, you don’t know who’s in that house,” he said.
He said as he expects to be a father soon, this is something he won’t be teaching.
“I’m definitely going to make sure we do the exact opposite of what that video shows,” said Moresco.
He said he contacted the county sheriff and provided them with the video.
