All caught on my Ring. Couldn't get the plate but filed a report already.

I live on the corner of a busy intersection so it's pretty ballsy.

Also he stole it literally minutes after UPS dropped it off.

People suck.

I've never had it happen to me, personally, but that's really rough and I feel terrible for people who have to go through that. Sorry, man.

Also there is something surreal about watching it get stolen live and not being able to do anything about it (watching from the office).

Wasn't going to call 911 but I was dialing the non emergency line as it happened and took a good 5 minutes to reach someone.

Police came by in 30 minutes so that was nice.

Do you work in an office? I know a lot if people have their packages delivered to their office for this very reason. Sorry this happened to you though. Package thieves suck.
Don't mind me. I'm just here for the contest.

So infuriating, did you get a good look at them, at least?

Yes, on some days. Home from others. But I don't think it's open on weekends. The problem is Amazon sometimes comes early or late and then it throws off when I think I'll be home to receive it.

Middle age dude. He was wearing a bandana so not great. However the officer made it seem like it was a guy they've gotten reports on before. Gonna check with neighbors to see if their camera got more.

Yeah, had this happen to me and it kind of makes me wonder why package delivery works like this in the first place since it's so easy for people to just take things.

And even when I request certain delivery instructions (like leaving the package in a specific place, or not leaving it at all) they just completely ignore it anyway. It's so frustrating.

I'm sorry people are crappy. If it's any consolation, it sounds like the guy works based on opportunity and doesn't specifically target anyone. It also sounds like he's dumb (caught on camera) and brazen (in a busy area), so he'll get caught eventually.

If you have an Amazon locker in your area, it's a bit of extra work to pick it up on your end - but nothing compares to the disappointment and inconvenience created by porch pirates.

And this is why I picked up my OLED in store because fuck people.

..Of course they didn't ID me at all (I even offered to ID myself) and anyone with my order number could've come taken it.

Yeah, I always use Amazon Locker now when I can. But it doesn't help for other packages. Or when Amazon delivery decides to not make it an option seemingly at random...

Good news - heard back from the two Amazon sellers and they're resending free of charge.

AND just heard from the officer on the case and they caught the mfer. Now I guess I can go through property division and see if they get the items back.

Sucks that you had to go through such hassle, but at least it seems like things are looking up!

I'm happy they were able to catch the bastard. Here's hoping he learns his lesson in jail over the next few years (if not longer - depends on how much he'd filched).

I'm even happier that the sellers are sending you replacements, in case Mr. Badguy sold it off already. If he didn't, you can offer to send one back to the seller (they'll probably say no, so you get two!).

I'm surprised too. But he said on multiple felonies so I'm sure he'll go away for a bit.

I'll see if I can an article.
