LYC. Don't read this, Shaun. - Strongbad Jan 2, 10:04 24
- What I noticed on this "Glitter Bomb Package Trap" video that made the rounds before Christmas was the diversity of thieves. -- (link) - Name Withheld By Request Jan 2, 10:13 [youtube] 16
  - Yes, I noticed that too. And... - Strongbad Jan 2, 10:16 14
    - Local police should care, because your $20 theft isn't the only theft. - TWuG Jan 2, 10:28 5
      - Do police response quickly to a shoplifting call? That doesn't happen up here. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 2, 10:31 3
        
        They would when I was in retail. I imagine it's dependent on the police force and the business affected, though. -- nm - TWuG Jan 2, 10:34 1
        
        That said, I could see a "greater good" argument that it is more important to keep people honest in a retail setting than in a residential. - Name Withheld By Request Jan 2, 10:37
        
        Noted. -- nm - Mop Jan 2, 10:32
      - I'll find out. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 2, 10:30
    - most of the time its just stuff, sometimes its your life saving prescription which is $20 copay, replacement is 4 or even five figures -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 2, 10:25 2
      - Meds require a signature -- nm - Spawn Jan 2, 10:30 1
        
        TV news story about a delivery, a woman was sitting there, signed for it and some other packages, wasn't recipient, 1500 to replace the meds -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 2, 10:47
    - The answer to your two questions is "No". The only thing I can see the video being able to help you with is prove to the shipper that it was stolen - oblique Jan 2, 10:18 4
      - Would a reputable online business offer a replacement at their cost? Even if you proved it? - Strongbad Jan 2, 10:19 3
        
        amazon has for me. didnt really have to prove it, just wait a week to make sure it didnt show up -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 2, 10:28 1
        
        Cool, thanks. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 2, 10:35
        
        Good question. I guess I never really thought about who ends up paying for that -- nm - oblique Jan 2, 10:21
  - Yup. We're going to have to get much more serious about package theft or it's simply going to become more common. -- nm - Mop Jan 2, 10:15
- set up a sniper roost. -- nm - groiny Jan 2, 10:07 1
  - also attempted murder. I guess it evens out? - Beryllium Jan 2, 10:10
- Those people are just complete pieces of shit. Like 100%. That sucks dude. Get a porch cam? -- nm - Shaun Jan 2, 10:06 4
  - It was a $30 gift for our nephew. Nothing huge, just frustrating. - Strongbad Jan 2, 10:08 2
    - I got my father-in-law a Blink camera that we put outside where he feeds various animals (racoon, possum, squirrels). Now we can get video of them - oblique Jan 2, 10:09 1
      - I have four chubbers cams to make sure she is getting enough sleep. (spoiler) - amanda Jan 2, 10:19
  - For all they know (or care), they are committing attempted murder. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 2, 10:07
getting my Venomized Iron Man delivered today. - groiny Jan 2, 10:02 6
- Venomized Carnage? That makes no sense!!! -- nm - Mop Jan 2, 10:33 1
  - he is not Venomized, he just completes the set. -- nm - groiny Jan 2, 10:35
- Sell you mine. - nm -- (edited) - Shaun Jan 2, 10:06 3
  - with shipping, that is about what it would cost. -- nm - groiny Jan 2, 10:07 2
    - I mean, if you really wanted to lock it up. -- (link) - Shaun Jan 2, 10:10
    - Not entirely an exaggeration. -- nm - Shaun Jan 2, 10:07
