Man shares 'disgusting' footage of couple robbing Halloween decorations from front lawn

A man has taken to Twitter to share the 'disgusting' moment a couple passing by his home stole his Halloween decorations from his front lawn.

The tweet has sparked outrage among the public as the couple were seen casually making their way over to the man's home to steal a pumpkin.

The sharing his story, the man said: "To the couple who loved our Halloween decorations so much that they decided to take some home with them, then returned for the "Scream" pumpkin my 13-year-old son carved, and was very proud of, may you have no luck from it."

In the video, a man and a woman can be seen out for a walk pushing a pram on the opposite side of the street.

After spotting the well-decorated home, the couple can be seen making their way across the street.

The couple appear to be having a conversation while looking at the decorations as they pause to allow other people to walk by.

Reaching it to steal the decorations, the woman loads the items into a pram with one child in the front and another child standing on its back.

The woman then pushes the pram out of the frame of the video, but she is not finished just yet.

Returning for the second time, the woman even stops to pretend she is stretching her calve as she waits for more people to pass by before returning to the home to take the pumpkin from the doorstep.

People were left shocked by the incident as the couple robbed the decorations in front of their children without a second thought.

They said: "I do not get this at all – there have been a few similar incidents near me – caught on doorbell cameras. Not even a quick swipe as they walk by but taking time over it like they were in a shop."

Another wrote: "Hopefully, the man and kid who were across the street and stood watching them might know them!"

To which someone replied: "Looked like they looked across at her to see what she was doing but she stopped when she copped them looking over and then the minute they left she came back and grabbed the pumpkin. Shocking carry on, hopefully karma isn't long coming to her!"
