I am starting to see an uptick in regular citizens taking matters into their own hands.  Police and state consequences be damned. 

My favorite viral video of the last year was the two bodega owners bashing the hell out of a brazen crook with what looked like broomsticks.  

It's not as bad as where I am in upstate NY as the metro area, but I suspect if I even "brandished a weapon" in the direction of porch pirates, I'd get in a lot more trouble than they would. NY cracks down on "gun violence" by making life miserable for law abiding gun owners.

Where are you at? I'm originally from Rome.

It was a big problem for a while with shoes back when I was in the "shoe game," because the packaging was so easily identifiable.

If you don't know who Mark Rober is, he's been doing some pretty funny stuff to combat porch pirates. Here's his "Glitter Bomb 4.0" video:

Are the porch thieves going to report you to the local po po for waving a gun at them? Pretty easy to have a rifle/shotgun up there if you're not a felon or mentally ill, I know handguns require a bit of work. What's worse where I live (Brooklyn) on our local neighborhood group someone showed video of a porch thief and the usual suspects found that objectionable because we don't know if they guy really needs the money in these tough times... oh come on, stop the nonsense!!! Last time a guy rang my bell asking for money to "feed his kids" and I told him to hold on a minute and I came to the front with a bag of groceries and he cursed me out. I guess he didn't really need to feed his kids!

In this instance, I would help her or him with the box.

Edit: I'll add, if this was my home and, if not, I would pay the owner/individual that placed the order for the item/s.

We have only had one package stolen to date from our porch, an Amazon package.  Lucky thieves got away with my son’s jock strap and cup

Ever since my first disappearing package incident (which I highly suspect my neighbors doing it) I've had all my packages sent to my work.

I have a friend who had her packages delivered to her garage as it was empty with two security cameras and sound recording in it, an alarm system in the house, and her large dog, Bronson, also in the house. About eleven years ago, a low-life neighbor stole a large digital TV from the garage and, of course, was recorded from two different angles doing so and sound recorded speaking to himself. Bronson was also heard wishing to "eat" him.

The police were uninterested, so she hired an attorney and sued the neighbor. She won, received her money and then some and attorney's fees. He paid her. The low-life neighbor, about a year later, sold his house and she, thankfully, has not heard from him again, 10 years or so.

Biden’s America right here. The left will try to justify it by saying “what else do you want the poor to do, go hungry?”
