Some had been hidden inside her garage for weeks. She first claimed the packages had been delivered incorrectly, but the video showed her deliberately walking onto multiple porches and taking them.<\/p>\n<p>I was relieved to recover some of my belongings, but I also realized my prank could have created unnecessary danger. Confronting or embarrassing a suspected thief may lead to retaliation, and placing anything hazardous inside a fake package is never acceptable.<\/p>\n<p>The safest approach is to save camera footage, report stolen deliveries, contact the retailer or carrier, and let authorities handle the investigation.<\/p>\n<p>My neighbor expected another easy package. Instead, she carried home the evidence that finally exposed everything.                                     <\/div><div class='rmwp-toggle-end'><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The next evening, I placed an empty delivery box on my porch and watched from inside.
