A greedy woman was caught on camera helping herself to £30 worth of sweets from an honesty shed - before leaving a measly 7p.
The sticky-fingered thief hummed a tune as she calmly filled her bag with 10p treats from Emsworth Sweets in Hampshire while two children played beside her.
But what she didn't realise was that owner Leah O'Brien was getting alerts straight to her phone as the theft unfolded on her Ring camera.
Leah later posted images of the woman on social media and, within just an hour, had been given a name. The woman was contacted and agreed to repay the full £30.50 owed.
