Well, it gets even stranger when the crook suddenly is seen hoofing it from the Texas home as fast as his feet can carry him.

Apparently something freaked-out the would-be burglar.

And while the video doesn't explain what it is, KPRC-TV in Houston took a visit to the house in Texas City — and revealed a likely candidate.

It's a sign on the front door.

It reads: "No trespassing. Violators will be shot. Survivors will be shot again."
