Justifiable Porch Piracy‽ 🛍

I appreciate the warning (not the “warning shot”). I guess now I know what else to pack when I show up at @ssummerlin’s house in the “Gunshine State”:

:wink:

I’ve done the same thing with misdelivered postal packages. That just seems like common courtesy.

I understand that you’re gaming it out as an exercise. I chose the title for :eyes:. :grin:

That’s an interesting approach. I think it might require her to have the awareness that the camera was there. I don’t know if she did or not; she seemed fairly focused on her phone.

In any case, I was posting this for my own amusement. I understand your points, and I can imagine that some people might be (justifiably) upset in similar circumstances, but I’m not.

Also, it was approaching 10 PM, so I’ll postulate that she was likely being courteous by not trying to ring the doorbell, especially since she was picking up immediately after the deliverer made the mistake. No harm done to me, as I see it.

I wouldn’t have even known about this if I hadn’t happened to tap on the THUMBNAIL SHOW feature in Events, which I almost never do. It’s just a fluke that I even know about it in the first place, because I tend to ignore motion events at night (usually triggered by headlight reflections even with an active Detection Zone and Motion Detection Sensitivity dialed down), so this food (I imagine that’s what it was) likely would’ve been taken by one or more four-legged neighbors or still have been on the porch the next morning if the human hadn’t retrieved it when she did. When I showed the footage to my mom, she seemed most impressed by the neighbor having the courtesy to stay off the grass. :upside_down_face:
