With the increasing popularity of doorbell cameras and KI-Handelsroboter 6.0home security systems, getting away with package theft is harder than ever.

You'd think the high likelihood of getting caught on camera would deter porch pirates from snagging packages that don't belong to them. There is another option, however, according to one thief out of California: wearing a disguise.

Does the disguise need to be elaborate and clever? Not according to this porch pirate.

The package thief was caught on camera in Sacramento late last month, attempting to nab a package from the home of Omar Gabriel Munoz. Instead of simply walking up to the porch, the thief appears to go full Ace Ventura, disguising themselves as a simple black garbage bag.

Footage captured by Munoz's door camera shows the thief crouched low to the ground with their body hidden inside the garbage bag. With nothing but feet sticking out of the bottom, the perp slowly makes their way up the property's front sidewalk, shuffling along in an apparent attempt to look like, well, a pile of garbage.

Making their way to the front porch, the thief-turned-sentient-garbage-bag hovers over the small package, snatches it up and pulls it inside of the bag. Still crouched with sneakers sticking out of the bottom, the perp shuffles back down the sidewalk, camera following them all the way.

Munoz told Storyful that he was confused after getting a notification the package had been delivered but returning home to find it gone.

"At first I was kinda angry but when I saw the video again I was laughing because people (these) days have a lot of creativity," Munoz told KXTV-TV. He told the outlet that he did not report the theft, as he figured local police "have more important things to do."
