Brazen Minnesota Porch Thief Leaves 'Thank You' Note After Stealing Package From Doorstep

Brazen Minnesota Porch Thief Leaves 'Thank You' Note After Stealing Package From Doorstep

It's the holiday season, and the air is full of love, peace and good will toward fellow humans.

And it's also filled with people who steal your packages directly from your porch—but they still leave thank-you notes, in the holiday spirit.


Hilary Von Smith of St. Paul, Minnesota, was waiting for a delivery when she noticed a piece of paper hanging out on her porch.

That piece of paper was an arrogant thank you note from someone who had admittedly stolen her package.

Police: St. Paul porch pirate takes package, leaves 'thank you' notewww.youtube.com

The note reads:

"So just a quick little thank you for leaving me the opportunity of stealing your package. Very nice of you."

It is signed:

"The NEW owner of your package."




Smith was "angry and confused and quite flabbergasted" by the note, which she labeled "brazen and arrogant."

The note similarly puzzled police, who say a snarky acknowledgement of theft is "something we've never seen before."





Smith is now hoping to bait the thief back with a decoy package which reportedly contains "a little gift" from her pet dog.





Package thieves seemingly become more common around the holiday season. 

According to CNN, experts recommend alternatives to home delivery, such as Amazon Lockers, shipments to local UPS or FedEx locations or sending packages to your work address or a neighbor who will likely be home.

Conservatives Predictably Outraged After Mattel Introduces New Barbie With Type 1 Diabetes

Conservatives lashed out at toymaker Mattel after the company introduced a new Barbie doll with Type 1 diabetes, including an insulin pump and blood sugar tracker—an action they say is "woke" while not understanding the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.

Mattel revealed a new partnership with Breakthrough T1D— formerly known as the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation—to launch a Barbie doll that authentically represents people living with Type 1 diabetes. The collaboration, Mattel said, ensures the doll “truly captures the community,” including accessories that “accurately reflect the medical equipment” commonly used by individuals with the condition.

MAGA Influencer Charlie Kirk Called Out After Blaming DEI For High Death Toll In Texas Flooding Disaster

Turning Point USA founder and MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk was harshly criticized after he claimed the death toll in the flash floods that have devastated central Texas "would not have been as high if it wasn't for DEI," ridiculously suggesting that principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion were responsible.

Kirk's comments are reflective of President Donald Trump’s broader push to dismantle federal programs focused on diversity and inclusion—part of what he pledged in his inaugural address would be a campaign to stop attempts to “socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life.”
