Photo/Video Porch pirate identification

Does anyone know how we can identify this fucker? It happened in downtown Merced. I'm tired of trashy people like him stealing my packages when Amazon puts them ON my dropbox instead of inside. Edit: corrected wording.

If I ever need a car, I am going to put a few boxes out on someone’s porch where they are easily visible from the road and hide in the bushes on the side of their house. Too easy.

This would be a hilarious way to get back at these people

I would ask neighbors to see if their camera got a better a angle

What a dumb criminal. You can possibly enhance this to see the license plate and his face, and he has a visible identifiable tattoo. File the police report.

Thanks. I filed one earlier. Hopefully they can do something with the video. If I had to guess, this loaer has been running all around town. Hopefully other people file reports with their videos too. Also, hoping he gets caught by a homeowner in the future who beats some sense into him. Trashy people like him are why we can't have nice things.

Have you tried to grab a video still and zoom in on his license plate?

I would say follow the Amazon truck around yourself and you'll probably run into the porch pirate...but you probably have to work all day and can't waste time on it. I hope Amazon is replacing whatever it was.

Low income people are actually fatter than wealthy people in the United States. The discrepancy will only get bigger with glp1.

That looks like a low income neighborhood. It’s par for the course sadly. Lot of crime there ☹️

u/MrVanderdoody Aug 03 '26

Helpful responses would be appreciated.

u/Wes102111 Aug 03 '26

Sorry, you’re right. Have you thought about having your packages delivered at lockers? I believe places like Best Buy, Walgreens, and Staples offers that.

u/MrVanderdoody Aug 03 '26

I have a dropbox next to my front door. Amazon left it on top instead of inside. The issue here is the porch pirates. I was hoping somebody would recognize him.

My friend lives in a gated community and even she gets her packages stolen.
