porch piracy
Stealing delivered packages
Porch piracy is stealing packages left at someone's doorstep by delivery services.
The term emerged with the rise of online shopping, as unattended deliveries became easy targets: Porch piracy has gotten worse since the pandemic.
A porch pirate is someone who commits such theft, often captured on doorbell cameras cruising neighborhoods for packages.
