A Florida woman followed an Amazon delivery driver through her neighborhood and swiped a delivery package she planned to give as a Christmas present, police said.
Kensley Mott, 33, was allegedly caught on surveillance footage Monday creeping into his victim’s front door to grab the loot, which he later admitted he planned to use as gifts for the holiday season.
The warm-weather Grinch — dressed in all black — peeks through the peephole before pulling out two packages, not unlike how the villainous Dr. The famous Suess committed his heinous crime, the video show.
The brazen theft may not be the first time Mott has scanned the Sun Ridge Village section of Winter Haven, a town 40 miles southwest of Orlando. A neighbor reported an attempted package theft just a week earlier.
He also has a criminal history including arrests since 2016 for petit theft, grand theft and possession of narcotics.

When police tracked down Mott at his nearby pizzeria workplace, he quickly got over the crime, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office alleges.
“I stole them because I was going to give them as gifts for Christmas,” Mott said, according to Sheriff Grady Judd.
When asked to return the stolen package, Mott refused.

He later allegedly recanted his confession that he swiped the gift, even when he was shown a video of the theft: “What if someone else just saw my face?” he was quoted as saying.
“If I was going to choose another face, it wouldn’t be that face. I’ll say it now,” Judd quipped at the press conference.
He deleted his mugshot and showed the irony in his appearance during the holidays.
“He has a red nose because he cried at one point. This is not Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. This is Kinsley, the red-nosed criminal. Locked. Porch pirates.”
Mott is charged with grand theft, felony petit theft and two counts of residential burglary.
He will likely spend Christmas and his birthday behind bars, Judd said.
