SAN FRANCISCO, CA — The holidays brought far too many stories about porch pirates, people who steal packages that have been delivered. Here's the opposite, a neighbor who delivered a package that had been left with her.

Video captured by a ring doorbell security system and shared on the Neighbors app shows the delivery, along with a note from the grateful recipient.

They wrote, "These were Christmas gifts my girlfriend brought for her mom and grandma. We were bummed when we thought our packages were lost/stolen. It made our holidays brighter when this amazing woman cared enough to drop them off at our apartment."
