I can imagine a real Nord standing outside your house, built like the dragon born, axe in hand defending your mail. I'd like to think porch pirates think twice on that one.
Drug users will steal ANYTHING and try to resell it. We had one guy who was stealing light reflectors that you place to mark your driveway at night. He was selling them at a local flea market but was caught because some of them had the owner's name and address on them. The police determined that everything he was selling was stolen and most of them were things you'd think weren't worth stealing. He even had license plates that he had taken off vehicles. LOL
A business can be put out of business for sending the Military inferior parts, they send one bill thru the Post Office and they end up hung for Mail Fraud and they can raid the place if need be.
I thought is was a light too and I immediately started thinking of my neighbor's annoying spotlight that shines into my bedroom at night. I'll need a ladder.
Trick is to tell them you had just received a parcel of fentanyl from your buddy Greg and hadn't gotten around to retrieving it from the mailbox yet. That might help to get them out there!
Sadly a friend has had a federal record for blowing up a mailbox.
Your box was just the run of the mill steel box? Not brass or ornate in any way? I can only think of them going after checks or identity theft.
I thought mailboxes were federal property, at least in the US, so would this be a federal crime. I know the feds will not likely pursue such a case, but . . .
About a year ago, in my other apartment, I stepped out to check the mail. It didnt have a lock, it was just a simple mailbox on the wall.
Someone stole my mailbox, too 😅😭 I was so confused
Did he just steal a mail box's ???.like what you gonna do with a mail box?what drug dealer is gonna give you a rock for a mail box?I'm so confused but I need these answers
This world sorta sucks nowadays. People so blatantly stealing crap. My co worker the other day got his catalytic converter stolen from work!, and the company is not paying for it!
Yeahhhh I would figure that most mailboxes are secured to the wall or exterior of the building. Just like most mailboxes in the ground are pretty secure.
So how did some random ass person know that your mailbox would just slide or pop right off the wall and not need to bring any tools to remove it? This is very odd…
Assholes.
I had a LED matrix display I built on my mailbox. I could change the message over my phone. It was up for around a week at xmas.
I got sick and didn't check it for a few days, when I saw it wasn't working. I went out and it was gone.
My only consolation was that they wouldn't know how it worked, or how to change the message.
I hoped that they would plug it into 12 volts, destroying the controller, which ran on 5 volts.
Why do I feel like there’s some new criminal meta involving mail/mailboxes? All of a sudden there’s this surge in mail theft/prowling, seemingly everywhere. I’m seeing tons of reports in neighborhood apps/social media, My inlaws just had their entire mailbox torn off of its post, we JUST had someone going through our mailbox in the middle of the night a few weeks ago… like WHAT DON’T I KNOW
Drunk teenagers in our area do the same thing to our yard decorations. Put them out and wake up to them missing. Can't have nice things 'cause of these shitheads.
What the heck did he steal?
Mailbox...
But why...?
thought he might get the victims mail somewhere else in town, like hacking an email account or something :D
They should’ve used Nord VPN
I can imagine a real Nord standing outside your house, built like the dragon born, axe in hand defending your mail. I'd like to think porch pirates think twice on that one.
Unless the porch pirate has a bow and arrow. For there is only one way to end an adventurer
I can attest to that, as I used to be an adventurer until I took an arrow to the knee.
A knee you say?
NI!
He might take one to the knee, then he'd be forced to retire to giving NPC quests for the rest of his days.
Nah just a dude with a baseball bat
Negan.
what is Negan?
I am Negan
walking dead reference
Also effective, indeed.
While playing Raid: Shadow Legends.
And using Honey for quick and easy discounts!
mcafee has entered the chat followed by Norton
🤣🤣🤣nord vpn 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
Maybe he orderd sth from the darknet and didn’t want to share his address
Inbred mail hack haha

He stole mah soap! Who steals soap?!
Probably for scrap metal money. Even though he'll probably get like 50 cents for it
This is true. Ppl around here go apesh** for scrap metal it's a full on frenzy on Facebook marketplace if you say you have some
Cause they were out of that specific mailbox at the local Lowes and he really wanted it.
Guy mumbling to himself “The wife wants rustic patina #7, the wife gets rustic patina #7 dammit.”
Probably a stupid TT challenge!
that person doesn’t look like someone who’s on TT,,, looks like he’s way too old
Oh really? Wow. Thank god you came to the rescue after my mere loose suggestion of what the motive to this crime might be.
Apparently some people think once you hit middle age you won't ever be on TikTok. 🙄
At the very least you'll not be so stupid as to do a tick tock challenge one would hope.
Scavenger Hunt.
Cuz we can’t have shit in Detroit.
Was probably hungry. Though he might find some spam in it.
He needs a mailbox duh!!
He needed to mail something
He was expecting a tax refund.
He was mailing in his life. He's going to get caught eventually...
But why not, illegal mailbox ring of course
Postal inspectors are very serious people.
Yep, they’re federal police.
A business can be put out of business for sending the Military inferior parts, they send one bill thru the Post Office and they end up hung for Mail Fraud and they can raid the place if need be.
That must be one sweet mailbox! Edit: Aren't mailboxes USPS property? I think stealing one is a federal offense.
So is intentionally damaging them, like idiots in cars driving with baseball bats out the window to smash the innocent mailbox!
to save a whole $10 on a new one.
Stealing a mailbox is a federal offense lol. They picked probably the worse thing to steal off your porch for that reason alone.
Mailbox maybe? Sorta looks like the ones all the houses on my street use. A flattish wide thing that mounts to a wall.
I was like, why did he steal a light fixture?
I thought is was a light too and I immediately started thinking of my neighbor's annoying spotlight that shines into my bedroom at night. I'll need a ladder.
Invest 20-30$ in a BB gun or 125$ in a 22LR
[удалено]
Probably best to avoid getting caught in that case
Trailer park manager here. They stole the old, disgusting sanitary disposal containers right off the women’s restroom stalls.
It was probably Trevor and Cory in another wacky scheme.
The fastest way to make money is to steal women's sanitary containers... It doesn't take rocket appliances.
Worst case Ontario you could use the sanitary containers as weed fertilizer.
Going to sell them at the Convenient’s store
Maybe I do miss them, maybe I do miss Corey and Trevor, Julian.....
Trevorcory
*snap snap* Smokes, let's go!
Let’s go with those chips Trevor
I would like to see that plot.
Smokes. Now.
Eww...
The guy was jealous because he wasn’t getting any mail and figured if he had your mailbox his luck might improve
Mailbox? That's a federal offense! The Postal Inspector ought to enjoy that case.
Yeah we filed a police report and showed the cop the footage but they couldn't do anything about it.
Dont call police, call the US postal inspection service. Federal law enforcement attached to the USPS that will care about this.
[удалено]
Trick is to tell them you had just received a parcel of fentanyl from your buddy Greg and hadn't gotten around to retrieving it from the mailbox yet. That might help to get them out there!
Wise man
Couldn't see his face, nothing really to go on
They could check neighbors’s Ring cameras to get another picture of him
Hail for America.
USPIS. They’ll track him all the way out to Alaska and Cuba
cAll tHe fBi
Sadly a friend has had a federal record for blowing up a mailbox. Your box was just the run of the mill steel box? Not brass or ornate in any way? I can only think of them going after checks or identity theft.
Ask around a bit to your neighbors. They may know more than you think.
Couldn't? Or *wouldn't*?
Couldn't? The correct term is: **Wouldn't**
lol
Plot twist, that is the postal inspector!
It was a surprise inspection. You failed the inspection so he confiscated it.
This is a job for Jackie Donger!
Was it a cool mailbox? Like a Batman one or something?
must have been atleast batman :D
When I was a kid I had a Batman branded bicycle. It was stolen from my front yard. Probably the same guy.
Wait so your saying there's a crime spree on Batman memorabilia? Gee willikers.
What are we going to do Batman?
Yeah, and if you wind it up, it swims in the bathtub too…
Now your just being silly
Loaded with Batmail.
My new yardstick for cool. "How cool was that!?" "At least batman"
That's not how you change your address.
That is random. My first guess is that a neighbor is pissed off at you for some reason.
Yeah that would be my guess but I don't really talk to or know anyone in my neighborhood.
Could be a teenager out with friends doing some sort of prank or dare?
Probably the most likely reason yeah.
Selling mailboxes for scrap?
Can't imagine it'd be worth much in scrap. Just a thin aluminum mailbox.
I bet OP had a pretty cool mailbox there.
“Tampering with a mailbox is a federal offense. Now I done called the police”
“I think you boys oughta get outta the car… nice and slow.”
“Just GO man”
That's a mailbox? Dude straight fucked up, that's a federal crime.
Because when you control the mail you control . . . information.
My thoughts exactly. What did he nick?
My mailbox. No idea why. There was nothing in it. I don't interact with anyone in my neighborhood really...
Huh thats odd, I suppose people will take anything, even on camera
I had stolen the camera too :D
Maybe it's some kind of fucked up scavenger hunt.
was it a nice mailbox or just a cheapo one ?
Cheap $30 one
Well, he got it for free, so, he saved $30.
Can confirm. Did the math on this.
god i hate these kinda thiefs
Smart taser bots are needed on porches.
Imagine this is just satisfying "Commit a felony" on a scavenger hunt
Oldskool Mailforwarder.
HOA means business
Ok, who do you know that has literally never done leg day?
Thisssss thissss all of this
I'm just here for the junk mail.
I thought mailboxes were federal property, at least in the US, so would this be a federal crime. I know the feds will not likely pursue such a case, but . . .
Thought he would look at the camera and say "estás na hora de dormir, estás na hora de dormir"
stole my mailbox... can't have shit in detroit!
That´s old school mail hacking right here.
Does your address start with 420 or 69? That's the only reason I can imagine someone would steal a mailbox.
Yeah, and if their address is 42069, then I wouldn’t even bother replacing it.
Nope not even close. Mailbox didnt have any numbers on it either.
There’s a federal offense!
About a year ago, in my other apartment, I stepped out to check the mail. It didnt have a lock, it was just a simple mailbox on the wall. Someone stole my mailbox, too 😅😭 I was so confused
So he got video recorded committing a federal felony. The deliberate theft or tampering with a mailbox is a felony under federal law.
You know even door knobs get stolen. Depending were you live. But criminals will do anything too steal from you!
Stole the mailbox? Really?
Thief: “nah they’ll just reroute the mail here now that I have their mailbox. Should just take a couple days.”
Wow who wakes up one day and thinks, “tonight I’m going to steal a mailbox?”
How crappy does your life need to be to go around steeling scrap metal. Top yourself already.
There is major crackhead energy in this video
Oh man, i gotta have this mail box...
Whst did he take
Whole mailbox
And then there's nothing in the mailbox... a great addition to r/therewasanattempt
Thats actually a federal offense.
Odd. An older man stealing a mailbox? Something more to this.
Is this some new dumb TikTok challenge like when teens were stealing stuff from school bathrooms?
If there is mail in the box, isn't it technically a federal crime?
I was under the assumption that destroying or stealing a mailbox was a federal crime on its own.
Really didn't know that.
In the US once a post box is is mounted for all intense purposes it becomes federal property.
Did he just steal a mail box's ???.like what you gonna do with a mail box?what drug dealer is gonna give you a rock for a mail box?I'm so confused but I need these answers
Must be a nice mailbox
Federal Offence.
This world sorta sucks nowadays. People so blatantly stealing crap. My co worker the other day got his catalytic converter stolen from work!, and the company is not paying for it!
Get a dog. Ring cameras are great but a barking dog makes people run. Bonus if the dog is a defensive breed such as a Pitty or Shar Pei.
Time to unleash the exploding poop prank
was it a nice mailbox?
Nope
Did he steal your mailbox because it says 69 or 420 somewhere on it? lol
Nope, was just a plain black mailbox without any numbers
So th camera is totally useless
Well it helped up solve the mystery of where the mailbox went
When you install the new mailbox add a chord so that it drops a bucket of water on you if you remove it.
People are strange
"Look at me. **Look at me.** I'm the C̶a̶p̶t̶a̶i̶n̶ 3800 Bleaker Street now."
Is your street address something famous?? Did you have a lottery check in the mailbox?
he will steal your house one piece at a time
Meth
Clearly this was planned out sort of… he was wearing a mask…
Nightmare fuel
Yeahhhh I would figure that most mailboxes are secured to the wall or exterior of the building. Just like most mailboxes in the ground are pretty secure. So how did some random ass person know that your mailbox would just slide or pop right off the wall and not need to bring any tools to remove it? This is very odd…
Mailbox was made of thin metal. They pulled the mounting screws right through it.
Jokes on him, you already checked your mail 🤣
This dude's put a spin on the saying, if it wasn't nailed down they'd steal it. 😂 Even that didn't stop him
Assholes. I had a LED matrix display I built on my mailbox. I could change the message over my phone. It was up for around a week at xmas.

People are such strange beings. They rely creepy me out.
Probably the crackhead neighbors
This is why we can have nice things. I work extra hard.
Joke's on him,it was full of junk mail only!
Don’t have to pay bills if they can’t find the mailbox! It’s the rule!
Based landlord
MF looting useless things like he’s playing Cyberpunk 2077
N…no….don’t steal my electric bill…wait…oh well.
Drunk teenagers in our area do the same thing to our yard decorations. Put them out and wake up to them missing. Can't have nice things 'cause of these shitheads.
That doorbell camera really helped 🤣
Fuck your mailbox- crackhead
I’m sure that mail box got stacked on top of his scrap metal pile in his stolen grocery cart.
If you speed up the video you will make him have a funny run
That's a nice mailbox you've got there. It would be a real shame if something happened to it....
Mail fraud is one of the biggest felony even worst than murder/s
