Sheldon, Iowa A Sheldon man came within seconds of catching someone in the act of pilfering a package from his homes mailbox Tuesday.

It all happened around midday Tuesday. Sheldon resident Greg Kavanaugh was expecting a package containing merchandise that he had ordered, and had received notice that the package would be delivered via U.S. Mail today. Kavanaugh tells KIWA that his mail is normally delivered between 11:45 am and 12:15 pm. He was home today, and about noon decided to see if the mail had arrived.

Kavanaugh says when he went to check the mail there was no package, but other mail was in his mailbox. It was then that he spotted a lady carrying a box with the logo of the company from which he had ordered the merchandise. Kavanaugh says the lady promptly jumped into a light blue Jeep Liberty and sped off.

He says he thought stealing the package from his porch was a pretty gutsy move, since it was in the middle of the day, both his vehicles were in the driveway and while his homes front storm door was closed, the inside entry door was wide open.

Kavanaugh reported the theft to Sheldon Police, so if you know or see a lady who drives a light blue Jeep Liberty, please call the Sheldon Police Department at 712-324-2525, because cops want to have a little chat with her.

There is some irony to this story. The package taken from Kavanaughs mailbox contained a video security camera.
