Easter Egg thief breaks into car parked at Scots home and nicks chocolate treat
A "bizarre" burglar was caught on camera breaking into a car - and stealing an Easter Egg. A shocked Edinburgh homeowner spotted the chocolate thief entering the driveway of their Corstorphine house on Wednesday, April 23. The video clip shows the man opening the door of a Mini parked in the drive. Over the next 30 seconds, the unknown man can be seen stealing and unwrapping a Mini Egg easter egg, reports Edinburgh Live .He then appears to stuff the chocolate egg into his pocket before throwing the discarded rubbish back into the vehicle . The baffled homeowner, who was left puzzled by the footage, said a £400 paddle board lay across the backseat next to the egg. "It was really bizarre ," they said. "He broke into my car and took a chocolate Easter egg and unwrapped it all. "He then pocketed the chocolate and put all the rubbish back into my car . There was a £400 paddleboard on the back seat that he ignored. "It felt equally violating and bizarre. It is confusing behaviour." Police Scotland have been approached for comment. Earlier this month, in an unrelated incident, we reported that a heartless thief stole 18 Easter Eggs that were due to be donated to pupils at an additional support needs school in Girvan. It is understood that the crook may have even impersonated a member of staff before making off with the eggs from the Premier Store in Girvan's Glendoune Street. The eggs were due to be collected as the school pupils gear up for their popular Easter Egg hunt, but the group were left empty handed. Support worker at Aberlour , Michelle Edens, said: 'We do the holiday play-scheme for Aberlour Children's Charity and we support the additional support needs kids at Invergarven, so it's all very much joined up. 'We don't have a very big budget, but the brilliant people at the Premier Store donated the eggs and they left them aside for each child we support. Eighteen eggs they left aside and now they're gone . 'I went to collect them and a member of staff couldn't find them. Then we were told someone from the school collected them last week. 'One of the girls told this individual 'it's Michelle that collects them' and was told 'I can pick them up for her while I'm here.' 'I am so cross. This is kids with Additional Support Needs, it's a big thing for them. The girls at the Premier Store can't remember what day someone made away with them but she does have CCTV footage. 'We have a very small budget, only a couple of pounds each and this Easter egg hunt was designed to give the parents some respite and the children a fun day. 'Whoever took the Easter eggs, I hope it makes them sick .'
