This bizarre doorbell camera footage shows a woman brazenly stealing a parcel - as her top falls down.
The thief had the wardrobe malfunction while nicking the package from a home in Houston, Texas.
Police are investigating and said that the while the woman could face charges, public indecency is unlikely to be one of them.
Constable Alan Rosen told Fox News : "She clearly was having a wardrobe problem on the way up. I don't think I’ve seen one of those."
The short clip shows a barefoot woman sprinting up to a doorstep to swipe a parcel - while struggling to contain her modesty.
A loud banging can be heard, reported to be the homeowner trying to warn the thief off.

It is not known what was stolen.
Constable Rosen added: "We're still investigating, and hopefully we’ll be able to potentially get her into custody soon.
"We've got some suspects in mind. We got a pretty clear look at the vehicle and of the person."
Janelle Bludau, a reporter for KHUO 11, said on Twitter : "Package thieves will usually stop at nothing to claim their prize.
"For this woman, even losing her top did NOT slow her down.... andddd it was ALL caught on camera."
Thefts of packages from doorsteps are thought to have risen as more people have relied on deliveries during the pandemic.
This had led to more and more people installing cameras to catch offenders, with footage being streamed to the owner's phone.
Police in the UK have been urging to make delivery instructions clear, so parcels can be left in safe places in the person is not in.
The Metropolitan Police suggested a number of solutions, such as installing a security light or using a locker in a busy place.
The force also recommended arranging for the delivery to be given to a trusted neighbour.
And Hermes said previously: "We’re encouraging customers to choose their preferred safe place for deliveries by downloading our app and setting their preferences using MyPlaces.
"This will ensure all future Hermes deliveries will be delivered to the same safe place."
