Is this an example of a porch pirate or a pick-pocket? Could it somehow be both? A thief stole a package right out of a homeowner’s hands!

Porch pirates have been on the rise in recent years. That’s when someone steals the package that has been left at your door by Amazon, UPS, or FedEx. They typically will steal the package before you are home and even get to it. This time around is different. The thief takes the package right from the homeowner’s hand making it more of a pick-pocket than a porch pirate. Check out the video below. What do you think?

Porch Pirate Steals Package From Homeowner’s Hands

Clearly, this thief was feeling bold. Not only did he take it right out of the homeowner’s hands, but this alleged porch pirate also stole the package right in front of what appears to be an Amazon delivery driver!

After watching the video footage below, I’m thinking that doing it in front of the delivery driver might have helped his chances of landing the package. When a driver sets it down and another person comes literally running up after the package, it’s easy to think maybe he’s with the driver. Maybe this guy knows a mistake was made? I’ll hear him out. However, by then it’s too late. He grabbed the package out of the man’s hands and just kept running.

After watching his surveillance footage, which is a good thing to have, the homeowner is under the belief that the thief knew exactly what he was doing, per 6 ABC. Inside the package were 6 iPhones for the victim and his family. Obviously, this would be very traumatic to have happen to you! Now, anytime he opens his door or gets a package he’s going to have to do some extra investigating and looking around. That could be hard to shake off!

To make things even more weird, 6 ABC reports that once the package was taken he got a call asking the iPhones to be returned in which he told the person on the phone that they were stolen and then they hung up. Could it have been the thieves? Is it all connected?

Police are now investigating. Check out the video report from 6 ABC below!

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.

5 Food Delivery Horror Stories Heard On Dave & Chuck The Freak

Look, we’ve all been there. It’s been a long day and the last thing you want to do is cook a meal. So, we turn to a delivery service. Or, at least we used to. We might not do that anymore after hearing about these stories. Here are 5 food delivery horror stories heard on Dave & Chuck The Freak.

After hearing these stories, you might be tempted to start cooking more at home. You never know what people might do with your food!

5 Food Delivery Horror Stories Heard On Dave & Chuck The Freak

Trusting a stranger to do anything can be a tough ask. I won’t let a stranger watch my dog. That’s something I know I need to trust you with before asking you to do. Actually, I won’t even ask many of my friends to do a task like that. Additionally, asking a stranger to house sit can be a dangerous ask. Now, I’m supposed to trust them with my food? In their own vehicle? That’s tough.

A lot can go wrong with a stranger picking up your food and handling it. First, they could obviously eat your food. A 10 piece nugget can very quickly turn into a 9 piece. Maybe they won’t take a full nugget. They could just steal one fry. Hey, you’ll never notice. They could also take a sip of your beverage.

However, consuming your food isn’t the only bad thing they can do. They can spit on it. They can put their hands in it. There are no shortage of the weird things they could do to it. Sure, companies have started taking measures to prevent stuff like this happening. They’ll staple or tape your bag shut. There’s no a protective film over beverage cups. However, it doesn’t seem to be enough. Drivers are still out there doing stuff–and getting caught doing it.

Here are 5 examples of food delivery horror stories as heard on Dave & Chuck The Freak!

    There are many things you can find in your delivery order. The last thing you want to find? Probably poop. Well, it happened. I can’t imagine the horror at realizing that. Certainly, I would never order from a food delivery service again. That would be it for me.

  • Delivery Driver Gets Held Hostage After Delivering Cold Kabab

    Personally, when I order a kabab I want it to be hot. Turns out, I’m not alone. A delivery driver was held hostage after delivering a cold kabab to a customer! Now, I’ve never taken it that far. However, I do understand the frustration. Where were you? Why isn’t this hot? I’d have so many questions. However, I would still eat it. I can microwave it myself. It’s not worth going to jail over.

  • DoorDash Driver Busted Eating Customer's Cookies

    We talked about this earlier. One of the risks you take asking someone else to deliver your food is they could end up eating some of it. Sometimes, they’ll get away with it. There’s no way to tell it was them who ate it. Maybe the restaurant just forgot to give it to you? However, there are times where the evidence is right there. Right on the delivery driver’s face. That’s what happened here. Watch as she hilariously busts him for it.

Well, by the time she realized that it was too late. Watch the humiliating video below!
