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.

A rope tied around the waist right at the wrist would have softened the suspect up pretty quick, it would be hard to breathe inside a trash bag especially with a little wasp and hornet spray for good measure.
More lead.
