Door cameras have produced some wild content over the years, and one man\u2019s security system captured the moment a porch pirate snatched up a package just seconds after it was delivered. In a video from June 3, a FedEx delivery driver showed up at Kyle Dorsch\u2019s home in Columbus, Ohio to drop off a box containing an Apple Watch. After putting the package on the porch and knocking on the door, a man swooped in, grabbed the box, and quickly ran away \u2013 all in broad daylight. Shortly afterwards, the homeowner answered the door, leaving the baffled FedEx driver practically speechless as he mumbled, \u201cHe just took your package. I sat it down, I heard a movement, and [poof].\u201d Footage of the wild theft soon spread across social media, where it\u2019s been viewed millions of times. X account \u2018PicturesFoIder\u2019 amassed over 17M views on its upload of the video. \u201cWhile we are home in the middle of the day \u2013 they didn\u2019t wait for the delivery driver to leave the porch, they swooped in real quick and went off,\u201d homeowner Kyle Dorsch recalled the situation. Dorsch is hoping that police can catch the culprit before he can strike again, but remains dumbfounded by the experience. \u201cIt just seems unbelievable. Didn\u2019t seem real. It still hasn\u2019t yet.\u201d Although police are investigating, so far the porch pirate hasn\u2019t been located or charged. Dorsch claims a blue Honda arrived on the scene just before the theft and the suspect escaped in it. The rise of package thefts and homeowners sharing their door footage has caused some controversy in the past. In Canada, police in Quebec even warned that TikToks showing thieves stealing packages is a \u201cviolation of their private lives.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Porch pirate steals Apple Watch package seconds after delivery driver puts it down X\/KyleDorschThieves stealing packages from doorsteps has become a common issue in many cities, but one porch pirate is going viral for stealing an Apple Watch right as it was being delivered.
