Bait package for porch pirates...

[bank]

After several locals suspecting packages were being stolen from their doorsteps, I left a "bait" package out to see what happens..
Took a few days, but some one took interest. Just slightly amazed they didn't notice the two very obvious cameras.

And this demonstrates why we don’t mount our cameras too high. Even without a hat we see little face

What did you put in the package?

Would have been funny if someone had stolen his bike while he was stealing the package.

I have since added a camera at waist height. The package contained some old books.

Amazing! My EXACT thought!
(Incredible minds think alike, y'know).

The bike was probably nicked anyway

 

[Rebelx]

Lower those cameras will ya? But good capture. Lucky no hat.

So you proved that a guy will come a steal a box if it's left out? Should have at least put some dog poop or a dirty baby diaper inside for his troubles.

After the original clip was recorded, I fitted a concealed low angle camera, which usually gets a good ¾ view, day or night. Slowest shutter speed is set to 1/250 to reduce blur in low light.

Like I said on the other thread, the best package prank is to put loaded diapers in empty boxes of various sizes; professionally packaged and placed on the corners of random streets. Let curiosity take over and let the games begin, lol
