Beware, y'all, the porch pirates are out.

Not everyone is going to be as lucky as Clark family, whose packages were actually returned by the very people that stole them.


"Honestly, it was shocking," Bryant Clark told FOX 26 in Houston.  "You don't expect somebody to steal something from you and bring it back."

The packages were only on Clark's porch for minutes before the porch pirates, a 19-year-old female along with several other young ladies, scooped them up.

The four girls were arrested, and apparently persuaded by their parents to return the packages and apologize to the Clarks.

The fact that they were able to say. 'Okay we're going to step out - even in fear and do the right thing,' is big," Clark said.

"The level of courage in that, I have to respect. I've been a young man before. I've made foolish decisions. I think we all have. I believe grace is something given when not deserved, and we have to give it."

Clark and his wife accepted the apologies following a long conversation with the girls.

"Change is possible," he said. "Despite where you start, it's how you finish and everyone deserves a little bit of grace. God gave it to us. We have to give it to others."
