Before video doorbells became the rage, people had no idea who stopped by when they weren’t at home. And maybe it was better that way.  Or, maybe not, because this is just funny!

A homeowner in Mansfield, Texas, who was checking doorbell-camera footage, on his cell phone, was surprised to see he’d been visited by a cow, while he was at work.

The video shows the large animal just stroll right up to the front porch, and knock, several times, by hitting the door with its nose.  After it waited, for a minute, the disappointed cow walks away.  Authorities say they have no idea where the cow came from, nor where it went. 

What’s the strangest thing you’ve found outside your door? What’s the weirdest thing you’ve seen on security camera video?
