Thief returns stolen gifts. Matt O'Donnell reports during Action News Mornings on January 3, 2018.

A family in Southern California can finally open the Christmas gifts they almost didn't receive.

The Torrisis filed a police report, but expected to never see the gifts again.

But then they got a surprise on New Year's Day.

The surveillance cameras caught the thief returning the gifts.

The family says they were overwhelmed with gratitude.
