How low can you go? How about walking onto someone's front yard and stealing a child's fairy houses?

That's what happened in an Egg Harbor Township Bargaintown neighborhood. A homeowner reports her security camera captured the theft in broad daylight!

Two woman pull their car into the driveway, jump out and grab the little fairy houses that belonged to a 10-year old girl. One of the houses was made by the girl herself from seashells she collected at the beach! (By the way, Mom describes a fairy house: "It’s just a little decorative house that the garden fairies 'live' in outside. It’s a little girl thing. Like a tiny doll house for outside.")

As the mom points out, the value of the ceramic houses isn't that much - mostly just sentimental value to the family. Says mom, "Hate that my daughter had to have little piece of her innocence lost."

I can't imagine what these two women are thinking about their big heist...
