A D.C. couple decided to teach a package thief a lesson.

According to ABC7/WJLA, a D.C. couple was sick of falling victim to package thieves, so they boxed up a special surprise from their two dogs.

Home surveillance footage from last Friday shows a man walking up and down the sidewalk in front of the couple's home, before stealing their package and taking off. The incident was the third since October.

The couple decided to place a fake package full of dog feces outside, and to move the camera so they could get a better angle if the robber hit again.

A suspect grabbed the box on Monday, giving an image of his face and gaining a box filled with dog feces.

“I had originally wanted to put a note in the box that said, ‘surprise!’” the woman said.
