This alleged thief may have been a little short-sighted with this plan.

In a post to X, formerly Twitter, the Irvine Police Department made some chirps while asking for the public for information regarding a man suspected of stealing an expensive set of binoculars from a bird-watching equipment store.

The post, full of bird-related puns, showed video of a man hiding the binoculars in his pants before walking out without paying.

The incident took place on June 5. The pair of binoculars that the man walked out with is worth $4,800, according to police.

Security footage from outside the store showed him enter a gray Lexus sedan.

Police are asking anyone with information to contact njohnson@cityofirvine.org.

Legendary actor and Los Angeles native Danny Trejo was involved in a fight at an Independence Day Parade in L.A.’s Sunland-Tujunga neighborhood on Thursday.

Witnesses say Trejo was riding in a vintage convertible when a paradegoer hurled a water balloon at him.

Video shared on social media shows Trejo, 80, get out of the car, walk to the sidewalk and throw a punch at a man, who countered and knocked the actor to the ground.

Other people got involved in the ensuing scuffle, including a woman who tried to restrain Trejo.

Law enforcement told TMZ that the crowd had dispersed by the time officers arrived, and no arrests were made.

Trejo, a former gang member who often portrays gangsters and tough guys in movies including “Machete,” “From Dusk Till Dawn,” and “Once Upon a Time in Mexico,” spoke with TMZ, calling the incident “childish” and those who threw the water balloon at him “cowards.”

Trejo has parlayed his successful acting career into other fields. In recent years, he has opened a series of restaurants, donut shops and coffee shops and published a memoir in 2021.
