So there is no proof of delivery needed for the driver, no signature, nothing? Leaving it in front of the house counts as delivered? What if you come home and the package is gone? I'd be scared to order something expensive.
Nice compilation on par with the subject
(sorry if someone already posted)
So much risk for a dang package..
Is it worth getting possibly knifed over that crap??
Are you high man? What?So not only did her stuff get stolen but now she's going to get a prison sentence for assault & illegal incarceration.
The big "crime spree" that tends to happen in my country ass neighborhood is thieves driving around opening unlocked cars and taking what's in the coin tray.
Racking up 20 counts of burglary for a nights work where they earn $6.43 cents in nickels and pennies. Stealing packages on the 5% chance you'll score an MacBook or iPhone is like oceans 11 in comparison
Decent amount of people pretending to care about thieve's feelings. Dump her ass in jail for 5 months to teach a lesson.
I mean it on the side of the home owner, why run a thief down in this day and age when everyone is possibly packing?>
So what? Because it might be replaced that makes theft ok? You do understand this type of theft raises the cost of things for everybody that's not a thief? And having your stuff stolen is very aggravating?
whats more annoying
Ordering a thing and getting it delivered and then now you have it and you are totally done with the transaction
or
Ordering a thing and it gets delivered but you dont have it and you have something to deal with now
Why do you think I'm saying theft is ok? I'm just saying the it seems like an overreaction when sorting a replacement is usually a two minute email to amazon. Yes it's a minor inconvenience, but personally I'd prefer that to having to go down to the sorting office on my day off or on my lunch break.Oh yes, that's just as simple as having the thing you asked for delivered unstolen and undamaged.
wtf
It apparently happens a lot more often then one would think. And then sometimes they don't even drop off the package but mark the tracking # as delivered.
You really don't put nazis/alt right on the same scale as thieves do you?
as people who actively harm others? Yeah, I doYou really don't put nazis/alt right on the same scale as thieves do you?

This thread is absolute proof of Fascism gripping America. Even the "good people" cheer on psychotic violence in the name of Glorious Consumerism.
The fascism is the cheering on of violence in this thread. The modern day bread and circuses if you will--the joy in watching brutality, and being a slave to such savage desires.wtf is this? It's now fascism when people protect their property? Where is the psychotic violence on display in this video? Did we watch the same thing?
She performed a citizen's arrest while using reasonable force, this is legal.
"Glorious Consumerism"....If some asshole was trying to steal my property, something I worked hard to obtain, I'm going to utilize my powers of arrest and hold them down until the authorities arrive.
I don't think you know what fascism is.The fascism is the cheering on of violence in this thread. The modern day bread and circuses if you will--the joy in watching brutality, and being a slave to such savage desires.
I'm not defending the thief--only lamenting that people are cheering on violence and relishing for more blood. Human beings really are barely better than animals, it seems.
I don't know if SmarmySmurf is just trolling or not, but if he isn't, that is the stupidest thing I've read on ERA so far. A criminal shouldn't be punished for his or her crime, because that would be revenge.
I'm so glad this site has an ignore feature.
Haha you people are beyond a parody of yourselves at this point.This thread is absolute proof of Fascism gripping America. Even the "good people" cheer on psychotic violence in the name of Glorious Consumerism.

I caught someone stealing my yard tools once. It wasn't pretty. If you had asked me beforehand how I would react to finding a thief in my yard, I'd have given you a different asnwer than how I actually reacted. Adrenaline is a hell of a drug. I've also crept outside in my yard at night, in my skivvies to confront "burglars" (raccoons almost every time) with knives and hammers and baseball bats. Folks saying they'd be calm and try to reason with the person are either delusional or don't know what they'd really do.
Thanks for the laugh. This was good.The fascism is the cheering on of violence in this thread. The modern day bread and circuses if you will--the joy in watching brutality, and being a slave to such savage desires.

You think petty theft and being a militant bigot are equally bad?
I didn't say that, and bye bitch.
You folks are so quick to condemn and not so quick to consider the actual mechanics of how these outcomes occur. This is an actual problem with the way our society operates, not just a single individual's failure to somehow magically reform her own brain.
You seem to think that the number of repeat offenses matters here. It does not. It's completely irrelevant. And who "wants" to be constantly in and out of the prison system like this? Who "wants" to be addicted to drugs, or suffer the compulsion to steal things for the sake of said drugs? These are accidents, symptoms of a societal failure to prevent her condition, not personal failings.
No man is an island. No one creates their own self. Someone has to change them. It's a collective effort and the only way to make it happen in a positive direction is to work together.
Folks saying they'd be calm and try to reason with the person are either delusional or don't know what they'd really do.
Let's be adults here, and try to refrain from publically announcing that you are ignoring someone, or responding with childish retorts when you are ignored.
This thread truly is amazing.
On the totem pole of criminality petty thievery is near the bottom rung, right above "shoplifting" and "jaywalking" and below "robbery" and "mugging". And yet even with it being so relatively benign, so many people find it trivial to completely write her off as a lost cause.
It drives me bonkers.
This is on top of her obviously being a victim of drug abuse (and let me be clear: all drug abusers are victims) in need of rehabilitation, and yet somehow people are using that as an excuse to write her off further? The hell is that? Reminds me of people saying shit like "just stop thinking bad thoughts!" and other similarly toothless responses to people in the throes of clinical depression or other mental illnesses that you can't simply "will" away. Yes, she committed a crime, but so fucking what? If she got proper treatment she would not have committed the crime in the first place!
Ugh, my head hurts. I can't keep up with this. I just can't.
I guess I'll just leave this here again. Maybe some folks can get something out of it. Gods know I don't have the patience to keep coming in here to read the rampant callousness on display over and over again.
If you have issues with how this forum is being moderated, please PM myself and Methuselah, and we'll be happy to discuss your concerns.All the shitposting and bad-faith posts itt and this is what you speak up about?

I guess we should just absolve all theft then, and not take into account the people who work hard for what they can own and the value it has for them.
Yeah, I'm sure the house with security cameras and a fucking nanny were going to break the bank if they didn't recover this package.

leaving packages unattended outside the door seems about as anachronistic as not having universal health-care or people using checks for payments in 2017
Would you apply your asinine logic to someone that didn't have the same luxuries?
