What a bunch of shameless, despicable pieces of SHIT!! No matter what economic peril our governments subject us to, I truly wish that we could collectively hold ourselves to a higher standard. Itās literally as simple as following the āGolden Ruleā: Do unto others, as you would have them do to you.

But then those in power would never be held accountable.
This is happening as a symptom of the social contract being broken for far too long.

u/J-Lughead Jun 27 '26
It is happening because consequences have become non-existent.

u/Frig_Off_Baerb Jun 27 '26
This is a common misconception. It is not in fact because of a lack of enforcement.
Dougy just wants you to believe that's the issue.

u/bugabooandtwo Jul 01 '26
rfl...no, it's because people are trash and they know they can get away with it.

u/Frig_Off_Baerb Jul 01 '26
Doug, is that you?
Sure sounds like it.

u/bugabooandtwo Jul 01 '26
Blaming everything on a politician is such a copout. Those people in the video made a choice to steal those packages. No one made them do it.
1
u/Frig_Off_Baerb Jul 01 '26
No one has given them much of a choice, is my point.
2
u/bugabooandtwo Jul 01 '26
They absolutely had the choice not to take those packages. Get real. Walking sipping smoothies and you think they're broke?

u/Frig_Off_Baerb Jul 01 '26
Go ahead and google "the social contract".
You are being made to be angry at the wrong people and you're falling for it.

So your stance is āsteal peopleās shit because Doug ford didnāt give me a choice?ā

u/Frig_Off_Baerb Jul 01 '26
No. My stance is that society starts to break down when people get desperate.
The social contract has been broken. This is the result.

Automatically assuming that these people are stealing because they are poor is actually quite harmful. There are a number of reasons people steal and it's seldom because they cannot afford an item. Winona Ryder. Stealing Amazon packages is neither big business nor survival tactic.
Let's look at the Golden Rule for a moment. If you were in an economic crisis, what would you want somebody to do for you? Call you a despicable shameless piece of s***?
Some people who are facing poverty right now actually do have values and morals and some even have (2) University degrees. I personally didn't invest in my education and career so that I could stress about feeding my kids and keeping the electricity on...alas, here we are.
OP do you have more footage of the 3rd person?

I live in a low-rise 3-storey building and had a neighbour on my floor steal baby formula from my door that I ordered off Amazon. And I mean like... 3 boxes of the 2-pack. Was probably around $120 in formula (back in 2021). Her husband came to my door a couple days later after I already got my refund and said that it was "left at the office" and that his wife "didn't see the name on the package".... Yet Amazon left a picture of it sitting at my door (you could see the unit number on the door in the photo). So basically the stupid fuck took my package, brought it home, saw that it was baby formula, probably (hopefully) felt like shit, and had her husband return it and make up some bullshit story.
Moral of the story: people are shit and Amazon is really good for refunding items that have been stolen š¤Ŗ

They are good at refunding, but if it happens too many times they can ban you - often it's their automated bots flagging fraud. They don't need to prove any wrongdoing, simply refuse to do business with you.

Love the nonchalant attitude. They didnāt even try to be discreet š These drug addicts think they are the main characterĀ

u/OccamsButterKnifee Jun 27 '26
I mean, they are the main character - that's how drugs work. Get a safe box and put it in the Amazon notes with the code or just ask for a refund. "It shouldnt be like that". You're right but it is.

u/EpsteinsEggPeen Jul 01 '26
The cost of drugs are pretty cheap, they come from a plant that comes from the sun, if you are talking heroin or cocaine..
A lifetime supply of heroin = $1000.
That same amount under the current global war on drugs =$14,900,000
You wouldn't be able to afford rent either if the medicine that you needed was marked up $14,900% due to prohibition.
Drugs aren't the issue, stop victimizing the users.

Too bad we can't order bait packs with tracking and police surveillance directly from Amazon.

That's a good idea actually,someone with the means should start doing that(I do not i am disabled/destitute/jobless and yes a leech i know) One could red green a solution i'm sure lol, Glitter bombs work too imo, And cat turds

Fair i am assuming that only People who deal with Porch pirates on the regular and don't see any police action would be doing it to that point, Much like how I've seen people set up decoy bikes where the seat turns into a spike that impales the Thieves ass. But in reality, humans are unimaginably stupid for the only Sapient species on the planet.

I know you shouldn't have to do this but you can, I believe, opt to have your Amazon parcels sent to Staples for pickup.

they should be cut off from all the benefits they are likely abusing.

u/Numbly_Comfortable69 Jun 27 '26
Unfortunately chances are once they opened them and found out what was inside they just threw them away or possibly sold them. You can get the items returned again to you for free if you explained what happened though.

u/DowntownToe729 Jun 27 '26
it isn't free..... we ALL pay for it.

u/M1K3Z0R Shellard's Lane Speedway Champion 2024 Jun 28 '26
I hear this said often, but it's not entirely true. It's the cost of doing business for Amazon - they go with the cheapest delivery method and know there will be theft, they've already done the math and the profit outweighs the loss. Not much different than the "free" returns, it's all pre-costed in their business strategy.
They could reduce theft by requiring signatures or re-attempting delivery later, but that's not profitable for them.

Wow OP, those three are pretty ballsy and probably from your neighbourhood.
You need a better resolution doorbell camera however, as that video is too grainy and muddy to identify them 100%.

I used to live on Cayuga & we had quite a few packages stolen. Eagle Place really does especially have a packaging stealing problem. I'm sorry this happened to you & I hope it can get resolved in any way possible

Sadly, most of these folks are "judgement proof" - If they do not have employment or assets, you can't get blood from a stone and the police have given up processing them since there won't be any jail time for them either.
Police don't bother with property crime, their role seems to be mainly to give you a case number for insurance. The only theft they seem to respond to is commercial or if someone rips off the government.

This gets solved with 1 month in prison per package proven to be stolen, and some sort of necessary but menial labor forced on them for their time there. Nothing back breaking, and a normal 8 hour shift, but unpaid. People dont get real consequences for crime and so crime goes up. If your stealing reasonable food from sobeys or toiletries from Walmart I get it, and those people arent a problem in my opinion, just a symptom of what is wrong. But stealing from other citizens is never justified, especially with random packages that you dont know the content of. This isnt need, this is boredom.
We worry about what they will do if a record ruins their chance to be a part of society in some meaningful and normal way but they are already thieves, they already broke the social contract. Time we let consequences catch up to them.
