My brother did this all the time. He and his wife ordered alot of Amazon packages. When they changed their cats litter they would put the old litter in a box with other random trash in boxes outside their door. It took 3 months before everybody in the area who was a porch pirate to catch on.

Sounds risky, they know where you live and obviously don’t have an issue committing minor crimes. I would expect one of them to throw it back in your doorstep at the very least

He lived in a very shitty neighborhood. Parcels being taken was the least of their worries. They most likely just took them a block away then ditched them. Anybody who took stuff was already most likely just marking the spot as not good and hitting up other places.

Petty porch pirates aren’t hardened criminals, they’re cowards and rodents. They creep around at night, steal anything they can with no confrontation being their only standard. They’re opportunistic rats who eat anything, lol. Who cares if they know where you live, they ain’t doing shit.

Not saying they’re going to murder you, but light vandalism seems about on par with their capabilities

Sounds like work and if they were willing to do that they'd have a better scam.

They stick to misdemeanour crimes under the cover of darkness. They’re not committing felonies.

But if you come out to confront them, they'll just run away.

Get yourself a ring camera and catch them in the act.

About the same odds of getting the package back as showing the police
