The only Porch Pirate Iāve had here is a possum that āborrowedā some of the cookies off of a plate a neighbor put by the front door.

About a week ago, someone rode up on an electric scooter just after dark on my driveway. Thereās a camera up on the eaves that caught him immediately but in the dark, he probably didnāt notice it. Itās an RV parking so people do circles on the pavement.
But the path to the front door is a sharp turn to the right and thereās another camera (not visible from the road) there. That one is at eye level, behind a window, but is very prominent. He made that turn, saw the eye-level camera, paused a little, then turned around. He didnāt want to take the chance,

You started a new AI trend @Antonius ā¦ I asked Microsoft Copilot AI:
when is national porch pirate day?
And it cited your post as the source for this answer:
(The Wyze forum post source links to your comment)
Google similarly lists you as the primary source:
So I guess we can assume National Porch Pirate today is now Nov 29th, thanks to you.

Anyone got any good porch pirate stories or footage to post while we wait for this seasonās capers to roll in?
You could link to something already posted, too. 
We had porch fairies 
leave us something expensive we didnāt want and they wouldnāt take it back!
This thing called āRoadieā left two big, heavy, high-end shopping bags on our back porch, addressed to a neighbor in a distant apartment complex.
Turns out it was a boatload of fresh packaged seafood (prawns, salmon, mussels, etc) packed in dry ice.
We requested that the local sender pick it up but they never did. Never even returned our calls. Several hundred $s worth of good food went to waste.
So much for ācrowdsourced delivery platforms.ā This time at least.
The purpose of pirates 
is to flout justice.

Most home owners insurance covers it already under the same category as burglary.
Including a receipt and tracking info for what was ordered and stolen along with Having a camera proving something was stolen helps too. Thatās why I donāt worry about it too much.
