Woman trying to steal package from homeowner complains loudly when caught

There’s nothing like being loudly indignant about getting caught red-handed to make my sympathy/Schadenfreude ratio plummet.

She was at the door, and no way that lady could have stopped them at that point.

Ah! There we go. Didn’t originally watch the video in the article and just the youtube.

Thanks.

Evidently they like Honey Baked Hams. I tried shipping my old train set from my parent’s house to mine, so my son could have it. The largest box they had handy was from a Honey Baked Ham.

Same here. We filed a police report, had the (temporary) tag number, and gave them the video. Zip, nada.

That’s why anything I don’t buy from Amazon (which will usually comp stolen packages), or anything expensive, goes to our PO box. We have a security cam, which may be useful one day if Amazon wants to see footage of a robbery, but cops are not going to go searching for petty crooks.

Ratchets gonna ratchet.

The thief was very clever, sneakily dressed all in black. The white stockings and daylight were her downfall, though.

It’s hard to find trustworthy accomplices, especially during the holiday season.

I would love to market a line of practical jokes that target package thieves.

Ingredients:

  • amazon box (or something similar)
  • remote detonator/control kit with app support
  • africanized bees, emulsified dog feces, bank dye packs - one or all three together
  • confetti

This of course has been done before, just not at the scale I’d like:

The thief is driving a fairly nice Cadillac SRX too. Not an inexpensive car, even if it was purchased used.

You don’t seem to understand how this thievery stuff works…

Oh, those are labeled.

Mailpieces must be plainly marked on the address side with “Live Bees” and “Surface Only” or “Surface Mail Only.”

Actually know a guy who ever year wraps a box of cat turns in pretty paper with a bow and leaves it in the back of his truck.

I’d prefer one that just sprays liquid-ass after a certain distance or when someone tries to open it.

Pricks like this are usually all about appearance.
