Tanna Ford was arrested Monday on burglary charges for the Friday night porch poaching. Clinton County deputies tracked the 33-year-old down after her victim posted surveillance video to Facebook showing the thievery.

“ The fact that she stole from a neighbors front porch in broad daylight is shocking,” Sheriff Jeff Ward told WLFI. “And, then my wife saw it on Facebook and knew more about it than I did.”

Ford, plucked the two UPS boxes around 10 p.m. Friday, officials said. The homeowners — a cop and his wife — and their 2-year-old daughter were home at the time.

The mom grabbed her daughter and ran to a bedroom, where they watched the surveillance feed from the front door camera. She watched as Ford threw the boxes into a plastic bag and fled in her car.

The packages were filled with Christmas gifts for the couple’s daughter.

The robbery victim posted the footage on Facebook, where it racked up more than 5,000 views. Ford dropped the opened packages back off at the home early Monday . She was arrested later that day.

“Here’s the word. We’re watching the porch pirates. The people of the community are watching the porch pirates,” Ward warned. “Facebook is watching the porch pirates. We’re gonna put you in jail and you’ll stay in our jail where you won’t need any presents.”

Ford — who was on probation for shoplifting from a Menard's earlier this year — is being held without bond. She faces unarmed burglary, petty theft and violation of probation charges.

    whale spotted in illinois river A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

    two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri. While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
