That’s because a fat squirrel is lifting lip balm and expensive chocolates from a family’s front porch — gratis gifts which are meant for holiday delivery people.

Unopened squares of Ghirardelli chocolate wrappers littered the driveway one day. And while the homeowners may be ticked off, this rodent is really living the good life.
