"It made it look like he was going to service my pool, but I don't even have a pool," Brett Henry told WCBS.

Video shows the man walk up to the porch and drop two packages into his pool net. Close-up shots showed the pool man wearing a backward camouflage hat, a black and white jersey, white socks, black shoes and tattoos on his left leg.

Henry said the thief got away with "horrible bowling shoes and a cell phone mount for a motorcycle."
