Porch Pirate meets 12 gauge - needs new underwear

Absolutely disgusted with how we have to live here in California. Criminals are all over the place and enjoy all the advantages the liberal State gives them. Meanwhile, the police have their hands tied and the courts just keep letting more criminals back into our communities. Well no more Mr. nice guy - It's time to fight back!

Imagine if they put that same amount of energy into a job. Then they'd save on fuel and car maintenance, underpants, and even be able to buy their own stuff.

I live with several cats. I've had porch pirates take things in the past to where I just fill the boxes back up when I clean out the litter boxes. 3 care packages gone so far and I don't have a single regret.

I used to work with a guy that lived in high crime area. He would take a crap in a box, put a bow on it, and leave it by the door. So many thugs, they just kept stealing the packages. I asked Him if it was doing any good. He said "It's the best way I have found to get rid of the pile of Amazon boxes we keep collecting".

Love that people are fighting back against these theives.

This guy has better video quality on his front porch than some of the municipalities have in capturing crime on their subway systems.

I hate porch pirates. Seeing a set up like this warms my heart. Anything to deter this thievery is a good thing. What they do is despicable.

It's amazing these days that the blaring sound of the alarm is not a deterrent, but the single blast of a shot scares the crap out of humans every time. Nice work!

I am a mailman. I resent a porch thief undoing my delivery. So lately I've been hiding the packages behind bushes or whatever, even hiding them in the garage or back porch. And not just my packages, but the other delivery companies that leave them right on the porch. I was worried customers might object but I've been getting nothing but thanks. Not bragging but they're my customers y'know? This video made me very very happy.

He lost that "I'm tough" swagger pretty quickly, didn't he? I love it!

Excellent job. I live in a remote area of the Sierra Nevadas in California. In our county, especially on ranch properties, criminals have learned that the 12 gauges are real.

[craigharrison]

It blows my mind that so many people are willing to steal random boxes that are most likely fillled with things they can't even use or need.

We live in a strange world! Now we’ve got to prepare our front doors with such devices to stop people from stealing! Great video!!!

[elisawestvirginiamountainm]

So tired of porch pirates and others stealing from people who have a hard enough time making it nowadays. You rock. This was awesome.

A+ for production quality. Honestly, this video should have gone viral just for the camera and edit work! Kudos

[Ridesmule]

The single most important thing to me is that I conduct myself so that I respect myself. Imagine being so devoid of self respect that you would stoop to stealing packages off of peoples doorsteps. It’s impossible to outrun yourself, no matter how far or how fast you run, when you get there, there you are,

I used to work for UPS off and on for the holidays as a driver helper since about the winter of 1999, and there was a couple of shifts where we were legit followed for the ENTIRE ROUTE by porch pirates, and at a couple of different times during one particular trip the driver and I both confronted the people following us, now we really couldn’t do anything about the situation other than report it to our supervisor, but we did write down the details of the vehicles that followed us and passed them along to dispatch, and a few other times we were lucky enough to have patrol cars driving the neighborhood on our routes so we also gave them the details about what happened.

[dondechello]

Made me realize how even the siren didn’t fully stop him. It was the pop that ultimately made him jump out of his pants and drop the package. Note taken

[ericmol]

He's smart enough to cover his face.
He has a car.
He can run and looks healthy.
But he can't get a job?

[jcauley]

He didn't even know he could run like that. Your work is inspiring.

[caroleann]

Every homeowner should have this! These porch pirates are out of control!
