This won't take long at all...

Wouldn't be surprised if there is more to this story. This dude made no attempt to hide his identity, nor was he in a hurry.

I think this is Roll Tide Willie's first cousin, Roll Tide Billy.

I'm starting to think that guy really didn't go to Alabama.

Distinctive faux claw marks through the driver's side headlight should help it stand out.

He was way too patient for a thief. I bet there’s more to this. He looked like he legitimately wanted somebody to come to the door.

He is trying to use white privilege to poke around people’s property without getting shot. Someone tell him his neck tattoo is ruining the ruse.

What if he’s a neighbor who got a package delivered to the wrong house? Happens all the time. I agree he was not acting like a thief at all. Waited a long time

Look at all you amateur sleuths! Y’all the same ones that went after Richard Jewell. Clearly someone reported a theft and my spidey sense says it’s the same people who turned over the video.

He took one or more photos of the packages on the porch before he picked them up. I think @7:48 might very well be right. Calling him a porch pirate (accusing him of committing a crime) without knowing more than what the video shows might end up being actionable.

He wasn't waiting yall... he was making sure no one was home and the coast was clear.

Be the one yelling at me during a traffic stop about getting the real criminals off of the street.

No way this was an intentional theft. Dude was supposed to pick up something from an address - maybe even from the front porch - and take it somewhere. Got the wrong address somehow and tried to text the person when things looked strange and no one was home with a "Is this what you wanted? I thought it was ___." Shrugged and picked up the packages.

Now if the packages don't make it back, the dude is still in trouble, so I hope he doesn't panic when he realizes(d) his mistake.

He obviously was in the wrong, or the homeowners would not have published the film.

Porch pirating must be an equal opportunity crime in Jackson. Maybe he thought that he was in Brandon.

The mayor's "real time crime center" is on the case. Right?

He took way too long because he is experienced at what he is doing, IMO.

At the end of the video...he looks in ALL directions before he decides the "coast is clear" and THEN he bends down to take the packages. THAT in itself is suspicious.

Porch pirates spend a lot of time texting and put the "stolen" package in the bed of their truck vs. the cab?

No hoodie?

Nah.

It’s just a Char advertisement. Nice truck for such a petty thief.

How many times have your packages been delivered to the wrong address, let’s wait and see what comes of this before judgement.

Why didn't he take the pink flamingos??!

"ROLL TIDE!"

Roll damn tid lol.

Not his first time for sure. This looks like an experienced thief. I wonder whose truck he's driving?

If he is a non-resident thief he understands the prevailing psychology of Mississippi. He could rob an entire neighborhood and go back to Alabama free as a bird.

According to posts on Nextdoor Fondren he also pirated packages at nearby homes.

I always try to leave work ASAP for a few minutes when my Ring doorbell alerts a package delivery, but I realize most people don't have that luxury. They don't live as close as I do to my workplace, and their boss is probably not as understanding as mine. Wish this problem could be resolved before an incident (or incidents) ends (end) in tragedy.

LOL - Typical 3-toothed, Skoal dippin', knuckle-draggin' Bama fan.

Hail State!

Someone on Nextdoor knows the guy and gave the homeowner his cellphone to get more information, so I'm looking forward to hearing more about this story. WLBT was asking to play the video, too. (Before the guy in the thread said he knew him.)

Some of you people are missing a few bricks in your chimney.

The guy was NOT seriously knocking and ringing the bell hoping someone would answer. He had his little speech ready if someone did answer, such as: "My three-month-old German Shepherd was last seen wandering down this street and I wondered if, by chance, you might have seen him. He's wearing a red collar".

If someone answered, that would be that and he would thank them and leave. Since nobody answered, he was free to rubber-neck the street and neighborhood, lift the boxes and walk casually to his truck, raising zero suspicion if someone should catch a glimpse. I hope he lifted two boxes of Doo Doo.
