Me: Oh come on, the police should be doing more important things than busting package-stealing Patty.

Also me: GO GET HER! TAKE THAT YOU ASSHOLE!

Don’t take other people’s packages, people.

It’s Canada. They save their police brutality for First Nations protesters trying to protect their own land.

Yeah, some conflicted feelings about this. Still, it’s a bit of overkill for one porch-pirate. Three cop cars and additional cops on foot? They clearly have too many cops for too little crime there…

Really? Don’t you know that’s Porch Pirate Queen Jenny McPickuptruck, Scourge of the Stoop, the Fear of the Foyer, the Virago of the Veranda.

Living in a fish-eye lens
Caught in the camera eye
I have no heart to lie
I can’t pretend a stranger
Is a long-awaited friend

This isn’t what Neil Peart meant … but it fits the scene … and it is Canada.

I wish my Ring doorbell worked that well. Mostly it catches the mailman walking away or every damn pickup truck that drives in front of my house.

Do people not gawk in Canada? The pedestrian that comes along near the end is just like “Darn cars are blocking the sidewalk, eh. What’s that aboot? I’ll just go around.” And proceeds on his merry way.
