Noel Rivera, who lives in the Summer Springs neighborhood in Riverview, wrote:
"These nice young lady’s were worried that someone would steal our unattended packages so they thought they would take them home and keep them safe. I’m sure they will bring them back later."
Rivera went on to say that the two women in the video realized that the boxes were filled with kids clothing and got excited.
Another neighbor, Mike Hayes, filed a report with the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office with video as well.
In Hayes' video, it appears to be the same duo taking packages from his porch.
