The real-life Grinch was caught on camera shamelessly grabbing presents from under the Christmas tree inside a California family home on Monday.
The burglar was wearing a red hooded sweatshirt when he was caught on the security camera of the family’s Huntington Beach home — earning him the nickname “Cheating Santa” from the family’s children, KTLA reported.
The brazen robbery was carried out while the couple were at work and their children, aged 6 and 3, were both at school.
Footage shows the thief carrying what appears to be a hamper of clothes, which he fills with presents which are placed under the tree for the family’s children to open on Christmas morning.
The thief, seen in the footage with a beard and wearing a red shirt and light gray sweatpants, reportedly broke into the family home through a rear sliding door
In between filling hampers with gifts, thieves can be seen peering outside the front window to check if anyone is coming home.
More than a thousand dollars worth of property was taken from the home, the couple said.

Among the items taken were two iPads, a camera and jewellery.
“We can replace that thing but just for my kids to experience it and know what happened … it’s kind of sad for us,” said one homeowner.

The family said they did not know the suspect and in the 12 years they had lived there, they had never heard of a break-in.
