PICKENS COUNTY, Ga. — A man couldn’t hide in the woods while rummaging through a garage, so he brought the woods with him.
Pickens County investigators shared video of a man they described as a “walking houseplant.”
In the Ring camera video, the man holds a bundle of branches and leaves in front of his face while he looks around a garage.

But he doesn’t do a great job hiding his face. At one point, he can be seen looking directly at the camera.
Investigators say the video was recorded after a car was stolen in Pickens County, abandoned and then recovered in Fairmount in Gordon County.
“While they made a creative attempt to hide from the camera, let’s just say Mother Nature isn’t an invisibility cloak,” the sheriff’s office wrote in a social media post.
