Holiday shopping is a little different this year. Instead of spending all a day walking from store to store at our local mall, many of us are turning to online retailers like Amazon. If you’re a Prime member you can get free, two-day shipping on pretty much everything. Since we refuse to wait for anything, that service couldn’t be better. That is, as long as you actually receive the package you ordered.
If you don’t know the term “porch pirate,” you’re lucky. These are the folks who scope out packages on people’s porches and stroll up, grab them, and walk away into the night. With the rise of online shopping in the last few years, porches, front stoops, and decks have been pilfered for their packages more than ever. It’s the worst when it’s a present for someone else or something you spent a lot of money on.
One Canadian woman was tired of thieves running off with her packages so she decided to do something about it. Instead of remaining a victim of theft, she set the pillagers up by making a special package for them and leaving it on her porch.
The package didn’t contain cookies or a note pleading for them to stop their shenanigans. No, it was filled with something that definitely wouldn’t be categorized as a holiday treat: cat poop. If you’ve ever owned a cat, you know how potent the smell of their feces can be. That’s why Laura Pringle of Hamilton, Ontario filled a bait package with her cat’s leavings to bait the thieves. Not surprisingly, it was stolen within an hour.
She took a video of the theft and noticed that it was the same person who had been stealing packages throughout the neighborhood. While it’s not the worst package to steal, a box filled with poop is pretty gross. If that doesn’t stop them from stealing her packages, nothing will.
