Porch pirate foiled by poopy surprise: “I didn’t plan for revenge... it's just kind of funny&qu

As more and more consumers turn to online shopping not just for their Christmas gifts, but deliveries of daily essentials, so too does the proliferation of so-called porch pirates — people who steal packages from front doorsteps and yards before owners have a chance to collect them. It’s a universally reviled practice, and, in Edmonton on Dec. 17, one of those would-be thieves got a taste of their own medicine — although it was completely by accident. “I didn’t plan for revenge, but you know, it’s just kind of funny,” said William Tigor, who lives in southwest Edmonton. Tigor was surprised to wake up and see, via his doorbell camera, a porch pirate taking a package at 5 a.m., when there shouldn’t have even been anything there to steal. Little did the thief know what they took wasn’t anything of value. Instead, it was a bag of used diapers Tigor’s wife had thrown out on the front porch and forgotten about. “She was planning to take it out to the garbage but she didn’t have time,” he said. “She doesn’t wanna leave a bag of dirty diapers inside the house so she just put it outside the front door.” For more info, please go to https://globalnews.ca/news/10923237/edmonton-porch-pirate-diapers/ Subscribe to Global News Channel HERE: http://bit.ly/20fcXDc Like Global News on Facebook HERE: http://bit.ly/255GMJQ Follow Global News on X HERE: http://bit.ly/1Toz8mt Follow Global News on Instagram HERE: https://bit.ly/2QZaZIB #GlobalNews #edmonton #porchpirate #amazonpackage
