A woman did not appear hesitant to steal a Halloween decoration from a front yard, even in broad daylight.
Footage released by Fox 7 Austin shows a woman pulling up next to a yard with a 14-foot tall skeleton.
The woman can be seen opening up the back of her vehicle and approaching the skeleton.
She goes on to pull down the decoration and attempt to fit the whole thing in her vehicle.
The video ends before showing how the woman leaves with the skeleton.

According to Fox 7 Austin, the home is located on Fathom Circle in Oak Shadows Condominiums.
Grazia Ruskin the president of the HOA told the outlet, “We have a very blatant, no trespassing sign at the entrance of our street. There’s only one way in, and it’s the same way out. So we were struck with shock when we learned that our neighbor’s large 12-foot skeleton had been stolen in broad daylight.”
The outlet noted decorations such as this skeleton can cost several hundred dollars.
Ruskin explained, “We have not involved APD at this point. My neighbor did not file a police report. I guess, you know, our thinking, her thinking and then our thinking at large is they’re very strained, constrained with their resources right now.”
According to Ruskin, “On this particular Saturday at 4:45 p.m., all of us were either inside our homes or not home at all. And that thief grabbed that skeleton, as you see in the footage, and somehow managed to get it into the back of their vehicle.”
Additionally, the HOA president reported that the skeleton was last seen near a Goodwill store as the driver stopped to secure it to the vehicle better.
The incident has gone viral and Ruskin said the “creator of the skeleton, Lance Allen, found a replacement for the owner. It will be shipped out soon,” as Fox 7 Austin reported.
