When karma hits you instantly, it became a hilarious crime scene.
Porch pirates are the bane of our e-commerce existence, but one certainly had a bad day and it was all caught on video.
The karma train came quickly for a porch pirate who tried to grab a package from someone’s doorstep. Trying to make a quick getaway was not in the cards for him! His car got stuck in the snow as he attempted to flee. Then police removed him from his car and hauled him off to jail.
These videos will have anyone who has had a package stolen cheering. Immediate justice was served up without losing whatever was in the box.
This went down in Ontario, Canada. The homeowner was wise to film it as many people are enjoying the instant karma and now police have documentation of the crime as well.
The clip, posted to Reddit recently, shows a house door being thrown open to what looks to be a person attempting to snatch a package from the front porch of a home in Mississauga.
The alleged thief jumps quickly back into their Toyota Yaris, yelling what sounds like “so sorry, man” to the person with the camera.
But that apology isn’t the most Canadian part of this exchange, it’s what happens immediately after. The suspected crook throws the car into reverse, cranks the wheel, and nearly instantly gets stuck in a snowbank.
The driver of the car hops out and tries to push their way off of the snowbank, but it doesn’t seem to be working. In an extended version of the clip, the camera operator offers helpful tips for getting out of the snowbank, including a sarcastic offer of a shovel.
“That’s dumb, you’re dumb!” the homeowner shouted at the porch pirate.
The best part, though, is that we get to see how this one ends. A pair of units from Peel Regional Police respond to the alleged crook, who is then arrested.
Police said that a Brampton man was arrested and charged with one count of theft and one of fraud.
According to AWM, folks online shared hundreds of comments on YouTube.
“This feels Canadian on so many levels. The thief is wearing a mask to slow the spread of the pandemic. The victim is offering advice and lending him a shovel.”
“This might be the video of the year already. This video catches the guy in the act, shows him making a ridiculous blunder, has him periodically begging, has the homeowner giving hilarious advice to him, and then we even get to see justice served at the end. This is a very rare video.”
