COLUMBUS, Ohio — Varment Guard Wildlife Services, a division of Plunkett’s Pest Control, received a video from one of its clients featuring a porch pirate of a different kind.
Kelly Svoboda of Cleveland, Ohio, hired Varment Guard to provide live trapping services and provided a video of the crime scene to help wildlife technicians.
This groundhog in the Cleveland area has no shame in its game as it clutches the delivered package, goes head-over-tail down the porch stairs, then heads out across the lawn with the unsuspecting homeowner’s goods in its mouth.
The homeowner never did get her package of Lululemon products. “They’re gone,” said Svoboda with a chuckle. “I looked around the neighborhood a little but found no trace of my package.” Plus, this crafty thief has eluded capture, day after groundhog day, without tripping the lever on a humane trap set by Varment Guard – yet.
