Alleged Porch Pirate Takes Package In Front of Homeowner

Police in Pennsylvania say a brazen porch pirate wasn’t put off by the presence of the homeowner when he went to poach a package. The Cheltenham Township Police Department says the package from AT&T contained six iPhones and was left on the homeowner’s porch. Just as he went to retrieve it, they say a man came up the walkway, snatched it and took off, leaving the homeowner stunned. Inside Edition Digital’s Mara Montalbano has more.

[@noahw5887]

They do this to save their asses. If they mistakenly forget to say it and the suspect is actually innocent they could be sued for defamation. You should learn why people do things before you comment.

[@thanosianthemadtitanic]

we still don't know if he meant to steal it. For all we know he could have tripped and accidently took the package or took it to get the phones inspected for the home owner

[@KC-ed1dj]

He knew what was in the package that is why he was so desperate to get it. Now the question is -- who tipped him off?

[@daisyluvsummers8420]

Inside job of course maybe a family member said something in public and someone over heard it

[@SK-bd8nt]

Someone working for the package delivery company most likely the driver since he knew when it was delivered.

[@misskay46]

Exactly

[@RowdyJr]

The real question here is why TF did the homeowner not grabbed his package before it was stolen when he was just RIGHT THERE to get it !? 😡😕 That makes no sense. If I see somebody running up to my porch as soon as I open it, I'm grabbing my package real quick like I have quick speed from the incredibles.

[@nq_tu]

Six iPhones?! That's a pretty good catch for the thief. I think he knew what was in there somehow. Because I doubt he would've ran up in front of everyone like that if something else was in there.

[@damefy]

That’s an Amazon driver Ik because I am one anything with significant value such as 6 iPhones(which I don’t even think Amazon can deliver even 1 iPhone) can’t possibly be delivered without sign off from the customer. Also there’s no way for a driver to know what’s in a package, don’t just assume he’s in on it because he matches the skin tone as the criminal, that’s racist and stereotypical

The delivery drivers has no obligation to catch that guy. The company won’t take care of his family or care about it him if he got hurt or killed over a package.

[@Ryan_asti]

Well two flaws for that crime he committed: 1. Those phones will probably be bricked the second the thief takes them out of the box. If they were from AT&T,the homeowner can call the line and have them disabled. 2. Those phones can likely be tracked so an arrest will likely ensue in the next few days
