Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to another episode of I Tell you what. These
people come to your door and they rip stuff off.
They are porch pirates. Yeah, I know, there's a way
of getting rid of them.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
So the new thing that people are doing apparently is
basically they're getting the same kind of I don't know,
mechanism that you see in those blue dye bank bags
where you have bank robbers and then they open up
a bag and it explodes blue dye in their face
or orange dye or orange dye whatever whatever color.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Glitter bomb things.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Kind of yes, but now they're planting them in dummy packages,
putting them on their step if they know that, they
constantly are getting porch pirated, and then a porch pirate
will come up grab it and then it just blows
up in their face when they're walking away, like when
it gets jostled around.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Why don't we post this and I think that these
videos are fake?
Speaker 2 (00:52):
I did. I posted it already.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Oh you just did.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
It's on the Chris car and Company Facebook. So if anything,
I mean, maybe it's fake, maybe it's not. It's still
worth discussing this possible solution to ports pirates. Also, it's
funny video, like what ends up happening when these things
blow up in people's faces?
Speaker 2 (01:14):
This is just goofy. So whether it's staged.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Or not, I don't know who would really want to
volunteer to be a part of this though, because it
really blasts them in the face. I mean their faces
are covered.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Unless it's AI, you can't tell them.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
I think it is.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
See, it is hard to tell and stuff is AI,
but there's something about it.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
I was thinking about this yesterday.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
There's like something about the way that the pixels are
moving or something. But I still feel like you can
usually tell if it's AI or not.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
This doesn't look like it had these for years, right,
but not quite as complex as they are now, where
it's literally just to text some movement and like a
timer or something and it blows up better. The one
that I saw years ago made a noise. I mean
it was like the glitter bombs. Yeah, the glitter bombs
would like like a fan. It was like as cool
(01:59):
as the whole effect. The noise was stiller than anything.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Yeah, there's like a whole YouTube channel on it. Yeah,
it's so great.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
And those were real. So I don't know if these
but I mean, it's still the ingenuity is pretty awesome.
Oh yeah, And I mean whoever put it together, it's
pretty cool. And then all it means is like, even
if it's not real, somebody could easily take a look
at that and make it real in their own way,
because I mean who would? But is it that? Is
it the die that doesn't go away?
Speaker 3 (02:26):
I'm sure that it goes away eventually. I mean, what
is it going to stain them forever?
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Forever? But there's you know, the stain that they use
on dollar bills doesn't just wash right off. That's just
a stick out, because that's the whole point to get you,
you know.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Ran if you will, it does look very very similar
to that same kind of dye these So.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
You're gonna be pink or orange or red or whatever
for days.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Probably they deserve it. If you're a porch pirate, are
you serious? What are you doing with your life?
Speaker 2 (02:53):
I don't currue that.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Yeah, do you guys remember the time that I thought
that I was being porch pirated But I wasn't actually
like portrayed in myself.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
Wait what a while ago?
Speaker 2 (03:08):
I got so whipped up.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
I was like, so I was certain that someone stole
a package from me, and I was so certain that
I talked about it on the show and she.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Was certain it was a specific person.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Yes, because I had been driving home and I saw
someone walking down our street that I had never seen before,
and I just thought that person looked suspicious.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
To be honest, that person was absolutely fault in her mind.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
I totally.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
For everything.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Yeah, we had like a trench coat on.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
He was like swaggering along and I'm like, I've never
seen this person in Maple leg in my life. And
I tell you what, like you just recognize people.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
She was profiling. Sam was so filing this dude. It
was just a flasher.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
He just looked suspicious.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
And then I talked about it on the show and
I talked about it so strongly that the people who
work at the post office heard about it and they
felt bad and they messaged me and they're like, we
want to help you. We want to figure out how
we can deliver your packages in a safer way, all
this stuff. They were so nice and accommodating, and then
you realized, like a couple of days later, found the
(04:12):
package in my office.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
At because Hawthorne brought it in.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
No, I think at some point I brought it.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
You brought in yet I don't remember that part of
the story. You brought in the old package for taking
my packages. Look at the video camp you're taking your packages.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
I just forgot that I grabbed it because sometimes you're
on autopilot. You get home, you grab stuff, you let
the dogs out, and you just don't think twice about
things were doing.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Nobody's on that kind of autopilot.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
I'm operating an autopilot most of the time.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
That's like this weekend when I went to go pick
up this hoodie that we bought for Leno off Facebook marketplace, yea,
from this person's house. They had the bags sitting on
their porch, and then they had an Amazon package and
I walk up and I go, They're gonna think I'm
stealing their package. I literally pick up the bag and
i'd look into the ring camera and go, I'm just
taking the hoodie we bought.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Yeah, yeah, And.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Then the ink bomb blew off right right.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
So see, you sometimes you got to make sure that
people don't know that you're porch pirating. Sometimes you might
porch pirate yourself and not even know it.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
It's just you never know. I felt so stupid.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
I felt so Dopefully there wasn't an ink bomb in there,
but there was more than one package.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
If I remember right on the thing.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
I think it was like it was like two things,
like a box and a package, and I like tucked
them into our office and didn't even remember that.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
See that your neighbors package still out?
Speaker 2 (05:33):
No, they grabbed it, Yeah, they grabbed somebody else.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Yeah, because a couple I know, because a couple of
weeks ago, I talked about how my neighbors had a
package on their front step and it had been sitting
there for like a week and a half and I'm like,
why haven't you taken this inside yet? And it was
kind of driving me a little crazy, But they did.
They did bring it in.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Now, so how did they not see it?
Speaker 3 (05:53):
It was at their front door and there the way
that their house is set up, they just always go
in through the side door by the barge.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
I get that, But if you're ordering, if you're ordering
something from Amazon, you could have an expectation that it's
going to be and plus Amazon tells you it's delivered
I agree, or wherever. I mean, it doesn't matter where
you order it. Hey, we dropped we delivered this package.
Wouldn't you think you go check your front door. You
think neighbors? Are they like zombies? What?
Speaker 3 (06:18):
They're a little bit on the older side, so I wonder,
I don't know, not zombies, but so I I don't know.
But they did end up grabbing it, so that's good.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
What was in the package?
Speaker 2 (06:30):
I have no idea because I didn't.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Ask them, well, don't you want to be able to
finish the story or at least this is radio makeage
azz it up a little bit.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
It was a pretty small package. It couldn't have been much.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
Kittens that and they were like, we just want to
see maybe, yeah, maybe, I don't know if it was kittens. Yeah,
for a week and a half it was a kitten
pancake because it was pretty flat.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
That's disgusted.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
I'm just saying. I mean, it wasn't. I don't think
it was a kitten. It was flat.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
I was just hoping that you'd drum up a good story.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
It was like a package.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
What it was, you know, it was like their own.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Some a package of ashes y whatever. Babe.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
No, it was a pretty small package. It was small
enough that it was low profile, and so I was
really probably the only person even paying attention to this
package because it coincidentally like their front door lines up
right with where I parked my car, so I'd look
at it every time I falled into the driveway and
it just drive me crazy. Why why haven't you grabbed
it yet? And then they did finally I think it
(07:26):
took two weeks.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Well, next time, check on them if they're kind of elderly.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
I see them coming and going.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
But just people, there's a package, but that's right there,
and iody's gonna take it. Not to be nosy, but
you can just be honest. But maybe I was afraid
to talk to everybody I.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Know, and maybe it's been a sotain of me, But
I just I wasn't trying to be passive aggressive. I
just felt like if I said something like that, that
feels so aggressive.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
If I'm like hey, no, like hello.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Noackage, No, there's a way in the delivery to say, hey,
excuse me. I just noticed that for the last two
years there's a package sitting outside your front door.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Also, what's inside it? Can I have it? Yeah? I
need to know. Please, I've been staring at this package
for two weeks straight. Please tell me.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Never look into my eyes and say that again. Okay,
Oh no, I've been looking at this package for the
last just looking right at me. I'm like, Okay, that's
not what I meant. Now we're done. Thank you for
listening to this episode. Up to you what You'll find
