The Porch Pirates
The term “porch pirate” may not do justice to the frustration and anger felt by those who have had their packages stolen. Victims believe the label should be replaced with a more derogatory term, as they consider it a violation of their hard-earned money and gifts.
One such victim, Christine Hyatt, shared Russell’s resentment toward these sneaky criminals and decided to fight back. Like Russell, she came up with the idea of filling an old Amazon box with cat litter, dog waste, and discarded coffee grounds to make it less appealing to thieves. Everyone was finding creative ways to outsmart the brazen thieves and protect their valuable deliveries.
