(Haslet, TX) — A suspected “porch pirate” is under arrest after taking the bait a Haslet homeowner left him.

The homeowner left a box of rocks on his front porch, and sure enough, two men stole it on Monday, and were caught on surveillance video.  They returned the box the next day with a note of apology inside.  The note was signed with a fake name but with a real phone number alongside it.  Detectives tracked down the owner of the number and arrested him for theft.

They’re still looking for the other suspect.
