At least the Gardner Police Department saw the humour in it, thanking those costumed camera invaders it in its Facebook post. Well we think they're costumes, anyway.

"Thank you to the citizens who noticed the cameras. Your effort and sense of humor are greatly appreciated," the post reads. Full marks for commitment.
