A US homeowner has opened up about the bizarre moment he was left stunned last week when a 'porch pirate' sprinted up his driveway to steal a parcel worth thousands of dollars right out of his hands.
Henry, who lives in Cheltenham Township in Pennsylvania's Montgomery County, had been receiving a pair of Amazon deliveries when a man came charging down his garden path, gesticulating wildly before snatching the box from under his nose.
Henry caught the entirety of the shameless crime on his doorbell camera - from the second he opened his front door to the moment he was left staring as the thief made off with his goods.
Inside the package sat six iPhones, which can retail at over $1,000 (£800).

The Cheltenham resident's camera also caught Henry's delivery driver standing idly by as the pirate ran off - prompting outrage when the footage went viral online.
The driver didn't react when the thief barged past, and only turned to look at him as he fled when Henry pointed him out.
Speaking to US outlet ABC6, Henry said: "It was scary. Now every time you open the door for delivery, you have to watch out."
He said he said had looked at additional surveillance video, and now thinks the suspect had known the contents of the package before targeting it.

Describing what happened, Henry said: "There's a guy coming down this block... They see the FedEx, they u-turn and then they come up the block and come right in front of the FedEx.
"There's another guy sitting in the car waiting for him. Once he gets in the back of the car, he just flew up the street out to Cheltenham Avenue."
Strangely, just after Henry had returned inside with his other parcel, he was the victim of a scam phone call which told him to return the phones.
When he said that they had been stolen, the caller hung up.
"That's kind of weird too. Both of them happened at the same time," Henry added.
Local police are on the hunt for the thief, who remains at large, and are investigating whether he could be connected to other crimes.
Officers said they were hopeful members of the public might recognise the suspect - who was seen speeding off in a beige saloon with tinted windows.
