The man ended up taking a dry mat, toddler forks, and a spatula.

“It's more just hilarious then anything what they took, I hope they enjoy them," said Burger.

She's not alone. Another video was posted to the Waldo Facebook page. In that case, kitty litter was stolen.

Another bride to be posted her bridesmaids dresses were stolen off of her front porch. The thief returned the dresses and got a gift card from J.Crew. Eventually the woman got her dresses back without being out any money.
