Unfortunately, it's a sign of the times.

What a sweet little note!  I hope to goodness they can get fingerprints and put the jerk away.

My neighbor had several packages stolen from her porch right after Thanksgiving. She started cleaning the litter box and pouring the contents into Amazon boxes she had saved, sealing them up, and putting on her porch. Two of them were stolen. So far, other things she has ordered have not been taken.😎

What an arrogant s.o.b.  I hope he gets his just desserts.

I hope you called the cops. I check at night too if some was left on the porch. I notice 5 this week left.

How awful reading that bizarre, malicious, insolent note must have been for her. Equally troubling, is just how pervasive this problem has become. Some say, " it's just a sign of the times", but I would like to add that I don't recall this degree of "package piracy", prior to when video surveillance/security companies began advertising on television, images of package theft as part of their advertising campaign. There has always been an uptick in all kinds of thievery this time of year, including high volume theft of retail establishments. Because of what has now become such a rampant problem, I too, find myself in search of some form of video surveillance, as I have read cases where arrests have been made because of it. It is only a small number, but something is better than nothing. It's nice to see where some citizens are fighting back by setting traps of dirty diapers, trash and other unpleasant "goodies", and to that I say," GOOD FOR THEM"!

Just when we thought we had seen or heard it all. 

I guess if that happened to me, I'd definitely be getting some kind of security camera's. 

I hope to goodness the theif is caught.

Maybe shippers are beginning to fight back.  I routinely get "your order has shipped" notifications from Q but today for the first time ever I received an email from Q that my order was delivered. 

 

Because I signed up for UPS MyChoice and USPS informed delivery I also received delivery notifications from them.

What is good for the goose today will also be good for the gander tomorrow.

Re: Brazen package thief leaves thank you note...

last spring I caught a pkg pirate in the act, chased them down the block - tackled them to the ground and punched and kicked, scratched them and pounded the tar outta them until the they gave up and gave me my stuff back.

I dragged them by the collar back to my house, called the cops and pressed charges againsrt them. I have a long range camera that captured the whole thing.

no one steals from me anymore.
