One Man's Solution to Thieves Stealing Delivered Packages from Front Porch

A Minneapolis man gave some pesky porch pirates a little payback — poop.

When his surveillance camera caught thieves stealing a package off his front steps, he boxed up his dog’s doo-doo as a little surprise for the next thief who dared steal from him. Soon poop packages were flying off his porch in the arms of unsuspecting thieves, including one that disappeared 90 minutes after he put it outside his front door.

Neighbors who learned via social media about his foul revenge cheered him because thieves also had pilfered their packages at one time or another.

“Everyone in the neighborhood said it’s a huge problem,” he said. They said: “I’ll donate more poop for you,” said the man who asked not to be identified because of possible retribution from thieves.

His answer: Put together a fake expensive device and fill the package with poop. “It’s the biggest letdown you could give someone. That’s what I was going for. … It was an innocent prank.”

He took an old iPhone box and wrote iPoo on it, drew a thumbsdown-emoji and scrawled “crime stinks” on an Apple sticker. He placed it in a packing box and placed it on his porch. It was gone in two days and he replaced it with another, and then another and another. As the holidays drew near, the packages were stolen faster.

For the package thief who has everything: Doo-doo-in-a-box
