COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. –Carrying a young child instead of a mail bag, Bernard Gifford knew the woman he captured on his surveillance cameras didn’t work for the post office.

“Just goes to show you the nerve some people have when it comes to stealing,” Gifford said.

Colorado Springs Police say this federal offense is actually fairly common.

Police say Gifford’s video showing the thief stealing a check from his mailbox will help deliver her to jail.

“That’s some of the best testimony out there. It’s tough to refute,” Lt. Buckley said.
