Gov. Ron DeSantis signs legislation hiking criminal penalties for retail thieves and "porch pirates"
"We're not gonna put up with that [...] Your package is gonna be there, and if it's not, someone is gonna have hell to pay."
"We will raise penalties [...] They are going to be deterred."
"We are gonna hold people accountable."
Then they probably have little need for items that can usually be lived without, shipped to their door.
I guess just felony charges when the victim produces the porch cam of said thief stealing the box and an invoice of what was in the box printed from his/her email to the police.
Unless the thief walks around the neighborhood covering his head and face to avoid ID on the porch cam, which wouldn’t be suspicious at all in given the frigid Florida climate
I was thinking the same!
Amazon includes warnings about some products’ packaging not hiding the contents. Walmart shipping from the store is usually in their plastic shopping bags or, as with bathroom tissue, just in the product’s packaging.
