Doorcam shows a naked man steal an American flag off a porch of a Florida home
Betsy Ross may be rolling in her grave over this one:
Florida police are asking for the public’s help in finding a naked man caught on video lurking outside a home, then snatching a decorative U.S. flag.
According to a Facebook post from the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office, the agency is looking to identify a man in his birthday suit who swiped Old Glory off a doorstep in Ormond Beach last week.
WARNING: VIDEO CONTAINS GRAPHIC IMAGES.
It doesn’t seem as if the person in question took the patriotic symbol to wave it, but to wear it.
In Doorcam video provided to authorities, you see a blond, bearded man in the buff approach a doorway with something concealing his crotch area, possibly a shirt or hat.
He grabs the flag, pole still attached, uses it as a fig leaf, then disappears into the night.
“Don’t know the back story here,” writes the caption.
Some commenters had their own theories:
“Husband came home, he ran as fast as he could and got away but needed something to cover up with so he grabbed a flag. Lol. Don’t know for sure but it would be a funny story.”
Another was offended that the flag was used in this manner.
“This by far is the most bizarre and disrespectful thing I’ve seen as a veteran of the Army,” wrote another.
Still yet another social media user couldn’t help but find the humor in the situation and actually felt sorry for the fellow.
“Maybe someone stole the poor guy’s clothes! At least he was trying to stay covered. Bless it!!!”
If you recognize this person, send tips to TMaxwell@vcso.us, call the office at 386-323-0151 or use the non-emergency line at 386-248-1777.
