Gardener Finally Discovered The Adorable Thief That's Been Stealing His Vegetables

Jeff Permar recently decided to start a garden plot in a new spot outside his home in Delaware. Much to his dismay, though, as the fruits of his labor were almost ready to harvest, they began to disappear. Apparently, a thief was afoot.

Permar decided to set a camera up next to his garden to catch the mystery thief in the act to know who he had to blame.

What Permar was not expecting, however, was that he would end up falling in love.

When he finally reviewed the footage, Permar saw this — a chubby groundhog munching away on his veggies in such an endearing way.

Just like that, Permar's anger melted away.

Permar named the groundhog Chunk — and from that point forward, really hoped he would come back for more. And he has.

Permar has started a dedicated YouTube page featuring nothing but Chunk feasting on his vegetables.

A star was born.
