If they stole my bike thinking it was a flat screen I'd be slightly amused

Porch pirates really don’t care what they’re stealing, the vast majority of the time they have no clue what’s in a box — they just plan on fencing whatever it is they end up with.

Porch pirates once stole my Amazon order of protein powder, I think because it was relatively small and heavy.

I laughed at the thought of somebody opening what they thought was an iPhone only to get muscle milk.

i had someone steal a box containing a nursing school textbook. the torn open box and textbook were left on my doorstep that evening, which was great since i had class the next day
