Less severe but annoying none the less. There was a person at work who would eat part of other peoples lunch out of the fridge. One guy who got hit a couple of times ended up doing something about it. He made a sandwich with a filling of Alpo dog food. Put his sack lunch in the fridge and sure enough, someone took several bites out of it. He told everyone what the sandwich was. Never had a problem after that.

Stealing packages from someone's porch now a felony in Arkansas
The new law makes this crime a Class D felony, which could mean up to six years in prison if convicted.

You're lucky you live in a state that prosecutes crime. In my state, we just let them go on unsecured bail so they can keep on stealing.We pretty much eliminated it in arkansas after last christmas

i can still remember a story i read in the local paper. Two older ladies were going to the Palm Beach Mall. The one has a cat that died and can't decide what to do with it. The other says put it in a bag and we will use the dumpster at the mall. They exit the car set cat on roof and gather purses and stuff. walk to the mall entrance and remember the cat on the roof of the car. The turn just in time to see another lady grab the bag and walk towards them. She doesn't know she is being watched and walks right by them and into the mall. The lady walks to the area in the middle of the mall and sits down on a bench and opens the bag and looks inside and faints .The owners of the cat are watching the whole time and when the medics come an on looker says wait she left her bag and sets it on the unconscious ladies chest as the medics roil her out

I had a piece of poo, dead Nissan 4x4 in my drive, circa 1993. Kids were hitting cars nightly for change, cigs, guns, purses, and elecronics. At that time my PD had a publication that came (kinda an intel thing) that offered dog shit essence, gas tank gel, and best to of all, an OC grenade, 2 second "full on" empty, trip wire activated, about 12 full ounces IIRC. It had a vertical dispersion like a fire hose, a base plate, etc.
Sadly all illegal now.
I might have scattered change and a dead "walkman 2" on the dash, some small change on the console, a pack of marlboros. Parked right at the sidewalk in my drive, facing out. Under the street light. A true car pirate haul. Drilled a trip wire hole from under the walkman thru the dash into a Burger king bag on the floorboard that held (barely) the OC grenade and holder which I screwed to the floor aimed upward into the seat compartment.
I know it worked because there were keys, cigs, money, walkman, sneakers (his) hat, (his) and subsequently a snot rope about ten feet long draped across the sidewalk and lawn. The door was open and I laughed till I cried.
darn small truck, hard to get out of since it was parked tight in between my two locked cars, and thorny shrubs on both sides.
Just like trapping a mink. Make it smell good, make the trail small, make the cubby very interesting, make it very regretful.
I always wanted to charge a magneto, set it up to discharge about 10billion volts when someone grabbed a case of Old Milwaulkie from the seat while standing on a wet car mat. I wanted to recover smoking sneakers.
Someday I will reveal in detail the Stenchonator 2000, used to discourage my stinky ass neighbors who insisted on smoking 10 feet outside my bedroom window, every day, crack of dawn.
A small tube fan, 3 inch PVC pipe and elbows, an extension cord, a rubbermaid bin and lid with construcction glue, an intake, a one way valve, water, dog crap and a dead groundhog....a shed , a woodpile ten feet from their smoking hut, a timer and a few hot summer days.
After about three weeks, no smokers. They moved out!
Never be rude to a snert.

Had a fellow worker several years ago who had enough of people helping themselves to his car stereo in is Jeep CJ. He super glued several razor blades under the dash and to the stereo. Came out one morning to a lot of blood in the floor boards! Never had any more problems with his stereo going missing.

What are they looking for- birthday cards or pills?
if I ever catch one I'll ask, that is if they can still answer...
I got lucky ?? I ordered a Tipton bore guide that Cabela put
on special. Slated Friday delivery Fedex. Looked out the front
door this morning and there was this box ?? Must have dropped
it off late when I was in the garage working. Note on front door
says to put packages at back door, but most ignore it. By the
way....Nice bore guide with adapters for $18 bucks and an
unheard of $5 dollar shipping.

following???
Not many options, for delivery on a porch where there aren't any other spots to place deliveries.
Beyond having a POB at the USPS or The UPS Store. Which itself gets sketchy, given how many vendors refuse to allow a POB address and how frequently contract shippers make last-mile deliveries outside of normal business hours.
A decent Neighborhood Watch arrangement is all well and good, but it assumes someone's going to be seeing a delivery van whenever it might come around. Which, these days, can be darned near anytime. (I've seen 8am deliveries, once or twice, and much more frequently >7pm ones.)
Would love to have an alligator-based system, myself, but then there's the trouble of getting Old Edgar and Fang to play nice with the packages. Perhaps a simple conveyor system that's weight triggered ... hmmmm.

I'd almost buy a big steel box bolted to the porch with a swing lid that allows stuff pushed in, but not out, like a mailbox? As handy as guys are here, I am sure one could be designed and welded up.
I am cynical though. I am beginning to think that soon anything we like won't be available, and only fake rubber turds will be buyable and deliverable. Unless you fly for Air America.
