Legendary actor Robert De Niro’s Christmas was nearly stolen early Monday when a woman entered his Upper East Side townhouse and began swiping gifts from underneath the tree before cops, who had been following the scumbag as she’d been suspected in multiple previous burglaries, swooped in and made the arrest, 1010 WINS reports on a holiday miracle for the acclaimed star.
De Niro was home at the time and had been coming down the stairs to investigate the noise as the cops entered and nabbed the Grinch, and instead of spending an hour trying to come up with some clever joke referencing Heat or Goodfellas we’ll just end it by asking why the fuck crime is still happening in NYC when the Republicans winning the House majority last month was supposed to have ended it permanently. They said they would a bunch of times on Fox News and here we are with Robert De Niro’s family’s Christmas presents nearly getting stolen from right under the tree.
