‘Block her in! She’s stealing’ I Suspected porch pirate surprised by couple returning home

As soon as the woman saw the couple called 911, the suspected porch pirate tried to escape. Her truck was blocked in the driveway, so she drove through the lawn. Not long after, police arrested 41-year-old Brownsburg resident Melissa Solomon and charged her with theft and criminal mischief.

I was an Amazon delivery driver and loved it(hope I can go back to that job one day) and I was always afraid of leaving packages on the front porch of houses. But we have to put them where the customers notes say to leave it. Even if it’s out front. People, please have your packages delivered to the back or something. Out of view from the road or anyone walking etc. if you don’t want your packages stolen, have them delivered to the back of the house somewhere.

Yeah, I agree! Wouldn't ir be great if Amazon drivers in my area followed directions 🙄 We finally caught and peacefully confronted one of them, and he told my husband that he should stay home to wait for the packages instead 😮😂

I bought a security box big enough to handle any packages i order. Now when the delivery person comes they still leave the package by the front door and refuse to leave it in the security box. My next move is to buy a secure mail box and install in front of house for the postman. Already saw one person actually open my mail box and look inside.

[@deejay6016]

My house has 2 big columns on the porch. The bright delivery people usually leave the package by the side wall, besides one of the columns, which make the packages to not be visible to people driving/walking by. The careless ones leave the package in the wide-open, right at the front of the door for all to see.

[@patlong8449]

It would help if the delivery instructions were actually followed. Out of the last 12 that had to be left, only 3 followed the safe place to leave instructions

I wish I could get packages delivered to my house, but I live down 3 miles of dirt road that would take an extra 20 minutes out of the driver's day, just for one package. Even if they did deliver here, I wouldn't ask them to because I don't feel like it would be fair to the driver.

[@JenJ2023]

People think: "Oh, it's a big house. They can just buy another item. This is nothing to them." NO. One of the most broke holiday seasons we ever had was in a $2 million dollar home. It belonged to a friend of a friend, who let us stay there to help get it ready to sell after both his wife and daughter took their own lives inside. He couldn't bear being there for even a second, and my husband and I were both were laid off after i came down with a life-threatening illness and my husband was in a major car accident. We chose not to hang a sign on the front door explaining all of this, so nobody would have guessed that we didnt have any money. My son was only 18 months old and luckily was most thrilled by the boxes and wrapping paper that wrapped his mostly dollar tree gifts. I cant imagine if he were older. I know, teaching the meaning of christmas is most important, not gifts. But come on. Its disappointing. I felt so worthless. So that reasoning for targeting nicer neighborhoods is infuriating to me. I dont care if the homeowner had millions. It's wrong. It feels horrible to be stolen from, especially at home. No matter how much the item was worth, you never quite feel as safe. Security and peace of mind is priceless. Jokes on them, because someday they will lose at least as much as they have taken.

@@Jerrythebatman why is any of that funny?

[@Jerrythebatman]

@@donaldlyons17 because it doesn't make sense and what you said initially was completely random and hence funny to me

[@donaldlyons17]

What does not make sense about it... I got the luck of having roommates who made the legal minimum and others who bought just too much for them to afford so no it makes sense in part because I know how math works. In a system based on behavior your right but in a system based on math my statement makes 100% sense. Not everything is monetizable.

I always get notification ( via email or text message or both )about the delivery , usually the day before , there is a possibility to change the time or address if nobody is going to be at the address . And the delivery man calls me when he is at the door, they never leave packages unatended , if nobody is home , they deliver the next day. There is also a service, which delivers packages to a local business ( grocery store, or bar ) and people come to pick them up whenever It is convenient for them . I live in Slovakia . Why don’t they do It in the USA too ?

If I ever stooped to being a porch pirate, I’d punish myself by doing it in an eyepatch and with a parrot on my shoulder.

Confiscate the THIEF’S Truck , it was used in a commission of a Crime !

[@TisEyerish1]

I love these homeowners...they know how to do it right! The thief looks like she has botox lips...if she can afford that, she shouldn't have to be stealing things other people pay for!

[@MegaLivingIt]

Our (major east coast) city is so full of porch pirates that a lot of people are buying these locker boxes for FedEx and Amazon, etc. delivery drivers. They are for in front of your door. Another tactic is use the lockers at grocery stores now for your Amazon deliveries. It's so lame to have to do this, but valuable stuff just can no longer be left on your steps while you are at work.

Chasing after some one is risky because if that person has a gun you could get shot!

Thank you for not blurring out the plate.

[@robinnicholas7867]

These porch pirates seem to be a peculiarly American thing. I suggest finding a better place to put your parcels as we do in 🇬🇧

Can't get over how IGNORANT PEOPLE ARE ALL OVER!!! Hopefully they LET HER HAVE IT😠😞😕!! Such A SAD WORLD THAT WE LIVE IN TODAY 😭😭😭😢🌍🌎😔😿

[@KAriedoll]

How is this ignorant? It’s conscious robbery by a typical lazy selfish criminal.

[@Spiritof_76]

Boo hoo. Crime has been around since forever. Shippers leaving boxes at the front door and not even ringing or knocking just makes it way easier. How sad was the world during the Great Depression? How about relatives being killed during WW2 or Korea or Vietnam? Today is not especially sad, except for the crap caused by social media and extreme politics.

[@TopoGigio555]

I love the mugshot posted on the door .. that’s ingenious!

[@mutoneon]

What a stupid criminal. Stealing something in broad daylight that most likely has no value to you at all.

[@donaldlyons17]

Well have to take what is there otherwise how else will it turn out.
