Man Gets Dozens Of Stolen Papers Every Day – Night Vision Catches The Furry Culprits

By
Every morning, more newspapers showed up at James Eubanks’ door.
But it wasn’t just one. Many newspapers would be lying outside his North Carolina home; sometimes as many as ten!
What the heck would he need all these newspapers for? Was it due to a drunken delivery person, or something?
Then, as if that wasn’t enough, other items started appearing along with the newspapers…
James woke up one morning to find a bunch of phone books, too!
This just took the cake, so James decided he had to catch the perpetrator in action. But he didn’t want to stay up all night.
So, he decided to install a night-vision motion-sensing camera in his backyard so he could catch the odd delivery person red-handed.
And so he did!
But it was no human … it turned out to be a group of gray foxes!
Foxes aren’t known to deliver anything to any humans; they’re generally a shy species that avoid people every chance they get. That’s why this was so strange!
As James told FOX 8 News in Winston-Salem:
“Without the pictures no one would believe it. I assure you.“
Who would?!
This isn’t exactly something that happens every day, even for those who live in rural areas.
But it was really happening, and it kept happening. James figures he’s not the only one affected by these unwanted deliveries, either.
Well, maybe the foxes are just trying to be friendly. Maybe they’re feeling their friendly dog side, if they have one.
The only problem is, this means the foxes are stealing papers and phone books from other people and delivering them elsewhere, which is sort of problematic…
How would you solve the problem, once you solved the mystery? 😉
