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.

I have a decent solution to even this sort of thing.
GPS tracking device placed surreptitiously into the package.
These things are getting pretty cheap.
The USPS handles delivery a lot of my online purchases.....of course theft from that agency is probably more common than porch piracy.
LOL!
AI will be able to identify those bony ankles...
Notice how this person has used an ingenious disguise in order to not be seen...
In his mind nobody will notice a bag on the move yeah that’s the ticket.
We need more happy farms
If only he put that much effort into getting a real job...
“why not a black umbrella?”
Considering it appears it had been raining that makes complete sense....of course no one ever said criminals are smart.
Fake or not....still funny
Police on the lookout for a hefty suspect.
Suck on that Trump! Those chargers are worth at least $20! It is your turn to wear the bag at the next house.
I'll be GLAD when they remove this dangerous criminal from the streets.
Lol- the old movies (as in the 80’s, 70’s etc) the bank robbery ones, usually had Ronald Regan masks or Nixon masks-
Obama and Biden are too scary to wear. Millions of Illegals come rushing to kiss you.
Porch pirates are why I like my long driveway with an obscured porch. It’s not easy to see packages from the street unless they are huge.
Lol- hadn’t thought about that one- they couldn’t make their getaway then lol
Agreed!
But is it bullet proof?
Notice how this person has used an ingenious disguise in order to not be seen...
They should have studied Monty Python’s lessons in how not to be seen
