This is the cutest attempted theft you’ve ever seen. The would-be criminals had their sights set on a couple of items, but it did not work out for them. Watch the short but adorable clip to see these two tiny delinquents try but fail to execute their heist plan.

We live in a fallen, broken and lost world, and that will, unfortunately, always be the case. People are hurting and struggling, calling out for help as they scratch and claw to make it through another day. Sin has ruined and destroyed every aspect of our world and society.

Due to the constant, pervasive and ever-increasing nature of sin in our world, crime will always and forever remain a part of society. It does not matter how many police officers are added to the force or what laws a politician may pass in an attempt to eradicate crime; it will not work. Criminals will always exist. Crime, because of the presence of sin, will remain, and that is a sad but undeniable fact.

A clip posted on YouTube captured two criminals red-handed, in the act. The cute and cuddly would-be lawbreakers are spotted trying to make off with two items – a front door mat and a pillow. While they were ultimately not successful with their nefarious deed, the two adorable animals did not go down without a fight.

The two groundhogs gave it all they had as they tried their darndest to drag those items away, hoping to claim them as their own.

It’s unclear why the groundhogs weren’t successful, though. It seemed like it almost worked. At one point, the groundhog, who was interested in the mat, nearly made it off the porch with the item in its mouth. The pillow seems like it should not have given the animals much trouble either. Perhaps they ran out of energy and will need to refine their plan and tactics if they attempt this theft again.
