Moment woman brazenly 'steals' four solar lights from front garden while walking dog
This is the moment a woman was allegedly caught stealing four solar lights from a front garden as she walked her dog.
In footage posted to Facebook, the woman can be seen brazenly walking up the garden path in Buckhurst Hill, Essex, with her German Shepherd.
She then bends down and pulls two of the glowing lights out of the ground and begins to walk back down before the footage cuts off.
The post was made in the Woodford Crime and Surrounding Areas Facebook group on June 18.
Originally, the post read: 'Who is this woman in Buckhurst Hill stealing 4 solar lights ? Kindly return them if it is you and we will remove the post.'
However, it was later updated to say: 'We have been informed Police now have her address.
'Your address is known. Please return the items. This is probably not the first time you have stolen.'
Locals were infuriated by the video and rushed to the comments to give their opinions.
One wrote: 'She's picking them like they were flowers.'
'Why can't people leave people's property alone. Buy your own. Makes me so mad,' another fumed.
Others called to 'make her famous', as someone else raged: 'Oh well she's been caught in the act her face is famous now for everyone to see.'
One woman questioned why someone would take the cheap garden decorations, writing: 'Why? You can get these in Poundland.'
Finding humour in the situation, another local wrote: 'That's what you call light fingers.'

Calling someone a ‘Karen' is ‘borderline racist, sexist and ageist', tribunal says
Calling someone a 'Karen' is 'borderline racist, sexist and ageist', a tribunal judge has said. Employment judge George Alliott said the term, typically targeted at middle-aged white women, was pejorative. The remarks came in the case of Sylvia Constance, 74, who had brought claims of unfair dismissal, direct race and age discrimination and victimisation against Harpenden Mencap, a charity that provides support to adults with learning disabilities. Constance, who the tribunal heard is black British, said she was targeted because of her race, having been dismissed on 13 June 2023 because of an 'irrevocable breakdown in the relationship' with Mencap. Bosses had previously suspended Constance over claims of 'emotional/psychological abuse of a tenant in your care' and 'bullying and intimidation of colleagues', the tribunal heard. Christine Yates, who represented Constance at the tribunal, said in a document: 'The respondents have acted like the stereotypical 'Karen', having weaponised their privilege and more powerful position against the complainant, making up and suspending the complainant for numerous fictitious infringements, and deflecting from their personal misconduct. 'As egregiously, they encouraged residents under their care to do same. There is also something very sordid about the way in which white, female management have facilitated racism by colluding with white, male residents to give a misogynistic, racist view of the black complainant.' But Alliott said: 'We note Christine Yates uses the slang term 'Karen', which is a pejorative and borderline racist, sexist and ageist term.' The judge dismissed Constance's claims, saying that the complaints against her were 'legitimate' and 'did not constitute a targeted racist campaign against her'.
