According to an arrest affidavit, police were called after two witnesses saw a man take a package off a porch in Boulder before getting into a tan sedan with another person and leaving the scene. Police determined the package contained $200 socks from REI.

Police tracked the vehicle using its license plate. When an officer called Seth and confronted him about the theft, he admitted to stealing the box and agreed to return the items at the Boulder police station, according to the affidavit.

When Seth came to the police station, he returned numerous items — including silverware, an aero garden, a card game and a cowboy hat rack — but did not bring the socks. When police told Seth they knew he had not returned all of the items he stole because the REI socks were not there, he admitted he had more stolen items in his car and at his home in Erie.
