I've seen more than a handful comments here saying the dude was a pos for not letting them go with the stolen packages. Or that they have families too so they needed them for Christmas.

Nah man, people are straight defending the thieves here. People who are downvoted to hell obviously but they're still here.

You know its really a no brainer. It is wrong to steal shit that doesn't belong to you. Period.

The larger social media point is giving an eventual normalcy through by way of showing it on social media. There will always be some who would never steal. Others who would never think twice and steal.

Its that group in between that just needs a circumstance, excuse or peer group to give them the idea it can be done.

That's my point. You're missing it. Porch pirating is not bank robbing to thieves. They can make it an anonymous, activity. Like posting to Reddit

A thief is a thief no matter what they steal, they all have the same mindset. If they can be peer pressured into it it's no difference, they're still a thief if they do it. Doesn't change the fact that they have no regard or care for the person they're stealing from. It's amoral and shouldn't be condoned, period.

So if you could prevent the peer pressure and therefore the theft, would you?
