An American flag flapping in the wind was stolen off a woman’s porch in California, but local police were quick to arrest the suspect, with officers going above and beyond and rehanging the flag on the woman’s porch.
In a Facebook post, the Orange Police Department in California shared a Ring surveillance video of a man untying “Old Glory” from the woman’s porch.
After successfully untying the flag, the man, who was seen wearing black shorts, a gray sweatshirt and a blue beanie, was seen wearing the stars and stripes as a cape around his shoulders.
“Hey, what are you doing,” the female homeowner asked the suspected thief.
