Thief caught on camera stealing water hose from Cape Coral home

CAPE CORAL, Fla. — A man was caught in a mischievous act in broad daylight stealing something unusual.

Ring footage caught a thief stealing someone’s water hose right in their backyard.

Neighbors on Southeast First Avenue in Cape Coral were surprised that out of anything a thief could take, a water hose was what caught the thief’s eye.

Chris Voggs, who lives in the neighborhood, suggested, “if you’re going to steal something, steal something that’s worth something.”

It came as a shock to other neighbors because the neighborhood is usually quiet. Humberto Amador can attest to that, as he said they’ve never had a problem.

This Cape Coral neighborhood hopes police can use the video to catch the man.
