The ‘red-haired’ woman skulked onto her property before leaving with her delivery – remaining calm throughout the heist
Dressed in an outfit of dark blue denim jeans, burgundy Adidas sneakers and a white polo shirt, the red-haired woman performs a completely calm heist.
Mrs Rees’ husband, Craig, was convinced the ‘desperate soul’ had been scoping out the entire street for goodies to collect.
‘This delightful, upstanding, salt of the earth human being didn’t just target us, we’ve got footage of her snooping around our street, so I’m sure she’s just holding onto it until somebody’s home. Bless her soul,’ he wrote beneath the video.
Adding another layer of mystery to the case, Mrs Rees said someone was supposed to sign for the package before it was left by the courier.

‘Unfortunately on this occasion a signature was requested/required so that is also being followed up,’ she wrote.
With the video shared more than 750 times and viewed by over 25,000 people, commenters were confident someone would recognise the ‘low life scum’.
Other speculated she had donned a fake head of hair and a large pair of sunglasses in an attempt to disguise herself.
‘She has a lovely suntan and dyed red hair….,’ someone wrote.
Another adding, ‘I know that red hair is fake.’
In a statement to Daily Mail Australia, Western Australia Police confirmed the matter had been reported and was under investigation.
