TRENDING Porch pirate uses trash bag as disguise while stealing package from doorstep Trash bag +Caption (Liudmila Chernetska/iStock )
By Bob D'Angelo, Cox Media Group National Content Desk April 07, 2024 at 2:02 pm ED SACRAMENTO, Cali. A California man was victimized by a porch pirate late last month, who wore a creative disguise to avoid detection. Omar Gabriel Munoz had a package stolen from his doorstep by someone who hid in a giant black trash bag, KXTV reported.
Munoz, of Sacramento, saw the theft via his doorbell camera, which appears to have a March 29 timestamp. At first, he could not believe what he was seeing.
“You see the bag coming to my door,” Munoz told the television station. “At first, I thought they were messing with me.”
According to the video, the porch pirate crouches low to the ground with only their feet visible, The Sacramento Bee reported. The person shuffles to the front door, hovers over the package and then waddles away, according to the newspaper.
It was almost like a sketch from “Monty Python’s Flying Circus.” Or perhaps, the rhino scene from the 1995 film, “Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls,” except the disguise in Sacramento was not mechanically powered.

can’t make this stuff up.
We need more exploding dye-pack packages.
Something fitting about that.
His friend was busy so he couldn’t stand on his shoulders wearing a large trench coat as his disguise.
“The package on Munoz’s doorstep contained a pair of iPhone chargers worth about $10”
A lot of work and risk for such a small return.....of course no one has ever accused petit theft criminals of being smart.....which is to society’s benefit if you think about it.
A smart pirate would have used a bush. Or at least a potted plant. I mean, who grows trash bags in their front yard?
They grow like rabbits in NYC when the garbage men strike.
Have you been to downtown Chicago? Seems everyone grows trash bags there. They are everywhere.
Poor fella needs a better costume- too poor to buy a proper Richard Nixon face mask costume I guess.
The guy who had his package stolen does not impress me for being nice. This fool with the trash bag on is going to keep stealing from people until he gets caught.
Next item may be worth more than this one.
I thought the slippers were a nice touch.
Did you mean...
“fool with the trash bag on is going to keep stealing from people...”
I’m surprised this hasn’t become a copycat trend all over the country.
I call FAKE.
Porch pirates are one of the main reasons that I don’t like to shop online.
Nah...that doesn't always work.
