I've seen videos like this before, everytime I'm just amazed and saddened at people who steal packages. It's not assault or anything like that but it just feels so fucking terrible.
It does happen, yeah. It's incredibly rare however, judging by posts on the internet and personally. If it's in a multi-family house or an apartment complex, they're not gonna even bother.
I just take matters into my own hands now, follow the signal with some of my more...beefy friends.
Beautiful, but these scumbags deserve the actual Kevin McAllister treatment. So sick of my packages getting stolen.
That was the most glorious thing I ever watched.
But wtf at all these people having the nerve to be pissed off after they stole a fucking package off someone's porch? Like you for real right now ?

I wonder how easy it would be to just mass produce ones that don't have valuable stuff like phones in them, but still maybe a gps tracker of some sort hidden inside and some sort of video capability. I assume he just used the phones for convenience so as to not have to custom engineer even more.
Make it in varying sizes and with the potential for even stronger smells or other penalties, and you've got something.

They engineered the shit out of this.
Amazing project and results.
AWW HEEEELLLLL NAAAAAAW

This originally crossed my mind, but I feel like even the dumbest package thief would have to know that someone willing to make something like this has to have multiple cameras watching their premises.
Fantastic video, though. I didn't even know they MADE glitter that was that fine, that stuff is absolutely never getting completely cleaned up.
It can not be worth the hassle esepcially since it is a crap shoot. Just last week I got a shoe box sized package, know what was in it? 10 dollar cellphone case and one of those shipping air pockets.
Every 2 weeks or so I get a box about the size of a tv, know whats in it? Either Gunia Pig bedding or hay.
Package thieves are scum and this video was delicious.
If any of my packages were taken though, you can be sure whoever delivered my package is paying for it. Seems insane that it's just left at the door like this.

Teargas / bear spray tbh. Just take the inevitable lawsuit. Worth it for divine retribution.
Mark Rober is one of the few Youtube channels I'll believe. He has the credibility to not have to resort to things like that.
As for me, crap like this is why I just deliver Amazon packages to the Amazon locker by my apartment (in addition to the local drivers fucking up my orders all the time).
Man police fucking suck. Chances are if they are stealing from his house, they are stealing from the whole neighborhood and definitely worth your time.
you rather cops chase package stealers or investigate child trafficking?
This dude can make a killing selling these online
If they have time to sit in speed traps all day they have time to deal with package stealers.
Not sure if trying to provide a serious either/or scenario...
limited resources? what? cop work 8 hours a day. do you want them to spend 8h on child trafficking or 4h on trafficking and 4 on postage thieves?
Where do you live that the local cops are all investigating child trafficking every hour of the day.
Well chances are the entire police force aren't tracking traffickers but sitting on the side of roads looking for people speeding sooooo....
What world are you living in???
a world where there's a lot more harmful crime than package thieves. and where police cost is already extremely high
Seems like it can be anywhere that's easily accessible, so... places right on the road with lots of sidewalks around.
I don't tend to live in areas like this, and am not really familiar with the whole issue. Then I saw a voice actor I follow on Twitter post a video of someone just strolling up to his porch and taking packages he had left there. They just fucking moseyed on up like they owned the place. Was shocking to watch it happen like that. It is definitely a thing.
On the local news recently they did a story about cops in my area doing something similar. They leave packages out with GPS modules hidden inside and then just track and arrest the thieves.
Believe it or not most cops are not John McClane stopping terrorists every day. Someone has to stop speeding cars, issue parking tickets, catch shop lifters, deal with drunken idiots. Do you think all these petty crimes just go unpunished?
I love this. This is amazing.
Honestly, its my dream job to be a petty crime officer. People who talk in movies? Ticket. People who litter? Ticket.
I feel like this is not an either/or situation.

Hate to break it to you but most police officers are watching traffic, walking around shopping malls, and patrolling black neighborhoods. This idea that they are stopping or trying to stop massive crime on the day to day is hilarious.
You think the police are made of money? There's only enough in the budget for a child trafficking unit or a package thieves squad.
