A FedEx delivery driver was left stunned as he watched a porch pirate run up from behind and swipe a package he had just left in front of a door in Ohio.
A brazen porch pirate in Ohio was recently caught on home surveillance video stealing a package right in front of a FedEx delivery driver, who had set the box down on a doorstep just seconds earlier. The theft unfolded right outside the home of Kyle Dorsch in northwest Columbus on June 3. Dorsch shared video of the incident on social media in the hopes of catching the thief.
As the thief fled with the package, the driver was left standing confused. When someone inside the home answered the door, the flabbergasted driver tried to explain what happened.

Dorsch told WSYX-TV that the stolen package had contained an Apple Watch. The watches can cost upwards of $399, according to Apple’s website.
To deter porch thefts, police and experts recommend having the package delivered to a different drop-off location or having delivery services leave packages inside a locked drop box.
