That's funny as hell. This is also the first time I heard they are called porch pirates.
I think there are some good lessons here in the cam placement. That guy was wearing what thieves seem to always wear - hoodies. I did not see any shots that would get a face id, and as mentioned no street shots or LPR. This is how my setup originally was - you see these shots covering the whole yard and think you have great coverage. Then something happens and you realize covering a large area is great for a general idea of whats going on, but if you want to id and catch perps its not enough. I invested in better cams, am in the process of adding street shots, and found that cams that are lower to the ground looking straight on a face at a chokepoint are needed in addition to overall coverage shots.
