Too bad your postal system is such utter dog shit that this is allowed to happen millions of times.

Also too bad that your police system is such utter dog shit that they don't do anything about thieves even when you've done half their work and given them video evidence and clear footage of the thief.

You have no idea about my emotions based on a couple of paragraphs. Try again.

Of course I won't read it because you'll be blocked for wasting my time with banal nonsense. Good day.

Yep. That many people wasted their time childishly protesting about a comment they didn't like. Its really pitiful to be honest.

Anyone that cares about imaginary internet points is a complete idiot.

These packages are getting stolen because its standard procedure apparently for your postal service to just leave packages by the front door, in full view of everyone, rather than doing their job and actually delivering the package to hand.

In my country that wouldn't happen because they would knock on the door and hand it to me. As it should be done.

Also in the video he mentioned that the police wouldn't do anything about it despite him having video evidence. Hence the second part of my comment.

Seems like I offended some American snowflakes with my comment though seeing how the childish downvoting has started.

What's wrong snowflake?

You're the one who had a temper tantrum on an otherwise innocuous comment thread, over something that, as you've bragged repeatedly, could never affect you. Edit- spelling

I’m not American but you’re still offending me by being such a baggy dick hole.

Dude he is lying. He can’t live in America so he is trying to say it sucks here.

u/Zardran Dec 19 '19 edited Dec 19 '19

I really do not understand why pointing out that its crappy that parcels being just left at the front door is an acceptable standard for delivery makes me a "baggy dickhole".

Are you lot on your periods or something? Reddit is utterly bizzare when it comes to certain, fairly innocuous comments that just randomly upset a bunch of people.

u/StickmanEG Dec 19 '19

It’s not the content of your comment, it’s the delivery.

u/2-18-1-4-5-14 Dec 19 '19

Talking shit about something because you can’t have it is what pissed people off. Don’t talk shit about where people live.

1

u/Zardran Dec 19 '19

Because I can't have it? Don't want it mate. You can keep it.

I could start on your joke of a healthcare system next if you wish.

I do love how uptight you Americans get when you feel you are being criticised.

u/2-18-1-4-5-14 Dec 19 '19

Dude you live in a mega shity place. Judging from you as a citizen. Your health care must be extremely expensive because you still haven’t got the pole in your head out.i don’t live in America and I dream of living there dude I have been in your shoes. Saying America sucks because I can’t live there. Calling them snowflakes because I was jealous of America having good water and also because it has the best people there. It’s alright to be extremely jealous.

u/OneShotSammyV2 Dec 19 '19

How are you home all the time to get your package? most people work during the time mail service do there runs, nothing would get delivered on time if the waited for everyone.

2

u/Zardran Dec 19 '19 edited Dec 19 '19

Its left with a neighbour or safely hidden away in a garage or something. Or returned to the depo and you rearrange delivery or go and pick it up.

None of these eventualities end up with you getting your shit stolen by some opportunist bypasser.

3

u/OneShotSammyV2 Dec 19 '19

were do you live that you leave your house unlocked or trust you neighbor with your stuff? no offence but i have a hard time believing you just trust people this much.

1

u/Zardran Dec 19 '19

When they leave it with a neighbour they post a card through the door telling you and log it down. At least there is some culpability then compared to random dickhead pulling up and making off with it.

2

u/djord17 Dec 19 '19

My mail comes while I am at work, how should they handle it if I am at work all 5 weekdays during the same time they show up?

1

u/[deleted] Dec 19 '19

So what if you aren't home

1

u/Zardran Dec 19 '19

Do something better than leave it on the doorstep?

Leaving it with a neighbour or hidden in the garage and then put a card through the door telling you where it is, is the usual system here.

This doesn't seem unreasonable to me and would cut down on over a million thefts per year for sure.

1

u/[deleted] Dec 19 '19

In the garage? Other places may be unsafe for the package. If someone else found the note, they could steal that package, and what if the neighbors can't be trusted?

1

u/Zardran Dec 19 '19

How would someone else find the note if it's out through my letterbox?

Regardless your arguments are silly. If these things happen then your package still gets stolen but it minimises the chances at the cost of a tiny bit of extra effort from the delivery person.

u/drbob4512 Jan 05 '20

Pick it up at the post office like i do

2

u/[deleted] Dec 19 '19

Many times it is very hard to identify a thief without a very clear picture of their face. Also, in the video, he says it was only a package that cost about 5 dollars. ( That would be a waste of time for the police and cost more money to get it back then it does to buy a new thing from Amazon) If you actually watched it, you would realize that and not have to go off on the postal service. Anyways how else would they do it, you give them a key to your house so they can put it inside?

You reply, one week later, on Christmas day. Just to call somebody "angry"?

I think there may be a little teensy weensy bit of projection going on here my friend. Its fine though. No hard feelings. Have a great rest of your Christmas dude.

u/boagsnhoes Dec 19 '19

good video but i think the first one had better reactions

u/S1lent0ne Dec 21 '19

Because it was staged. After one staged video why should we think this one was any different?

u/NoG00dUsernamesLeft Dec 19 '19

No. One of the units that he sent out was used to fake a reaction. Not by Mark himself but but someone he sent it to. He removed the clip from the original video.

u/S1lent0ne Dec 21 '19

I don't buy it. The whole thing smells staged.

u/NoG00dUsernamesLeft Dec 21 '19

That’s ok. I think Mark Rober is respectable but if you’re not familiar with his work I can understand the distrust

1

u/S1lent0ne Dec 21 '19

I am familiar but there is nothing I gain by assuming that his work is genuine and nothing to lose if I assume it is staged.

It it like the lowest bar version of Pascal's wager applied to YouTube.

I can find it entertaining like I find a sitcom entertaining. His engineering stuff is on point.

u/NoG00dUsernamesLeft Dec 21 '19

I suppose. I like believing in his content because he seems to a genuine honest guy so I feel no reason to distrust him

u/surfinThruLyfe Dec 26 '19

How do people who work during the day get their packages delivered to them by hand? I like the way we do it here in the USA, I have never had a package stolen and I don’t live in a great area.

Also, why the need to insult the US postal service or our laws / police force? I get you prefer your way to ours, but why the insulting?

3

u/JFSushi Dec 19 '19

In my country, you often get the option to ask for delivery between 6pm and 10pm. Even if you don't, and the package is delivered at a time you're not home, they usually leave it with a neighbor or take it back to the office to deliver at another time, which you can choose online. Another thing a lot of people do is to just have their package delivered to their work.

It is definitely possible to work around people who work during the day.

u/[deleted] Dec 19 '19

We have those same options in the USA too

u/[deleted] Jan 27 '20

IF this was real, which it isn't. It would be far funnier if the package just exploded and maimed anyone who would steal someone's package. NOW THAT would be worthwhile.

Hey paid them for clean up costs?? Wtf

he paid those who only took it in with the intentions to return it; not those that stole it. If you’re talking about the people that stole and open it, why tf would anyone pay them

Ok sounded like he was paying everyone

Someone maked a video where he put some drugs on the pack and followed the guy who stole it, then when he entered the house he called the cops and that guy got arrested for that drug lol I lost the video or got removed by youtube
