Homeowners aren't afraid to seek dirty revenge on package thieves.
With more than 1.7 million packages stolen or missing every day nationwide, according to a new analysis conducted for the New York Times, homeowners have been taking creative revenge on porch pirates.
"It just felt good to feel like we got some sort of justice,” the mother, who wanted to remain anonymous, reportedly said. A female suspect was reportedly arrested afterward. Over the past few months, the business owner’s security cameras have caught 30 people trying to steal the box and 50 people loitering around his property. “You can see them get mad when they pick up the box,” says Garnes. “One girl yelled ‘Goddamn it!’ and stormed off and a guy said out loud, ‘That was a good one, motherf*****.’”
When picked up vertically, the self-contained Blank Box releases a firing pin which hits the shotgun shells. Over the past few years, Barrow has sold 1,500 boxes, which retail between $40 and $90 on his website, including to NFL teams which Barrow says are used to prank rookie players. An Amazon spokesperson tells Yahoo Lifestyle that while the vast majorities of packages are delivered safely to customers, the company offers 24/7 help and a tracking system that includes following delivery drivers live on a map. Drivers can also take a photo of packages to prove delivery or customers can use Amazon Lockers, which are self-service delivery locations, for drop-offs and pick-up.
