Package thief leaves thank you note on St. Paul customer's door

A thank you note left by thieves who stole packages from porch in St. Paul (St. Paul Police Department)

It turns out not all thank you notes are welcomed.  

Friday, the St. Paul Police Department shared a photo of a thank you note left by a “porch pirate” who had stolen some packages from a home on the 800 block of Watson Avenue.

“So just a quick little thank you for leaving the opernity [sic] of stealing your package very nice of you,” the note reads.

It is signed, “The new owner of your package.”

St. Paul Police are reminding the non-Grinches there are a few things you can do to help prevent porch robberies.

1. Require a signature for delivery.

2. Have packages delivered to a trusted neighbor.

3. Have your package delivered to your work address.

4. Have your package delivered to an Amazon locker.

5. Have packages delivered to a neighborhood store.

Additionally the SPPD says they have plenty of “bait packages” out there to help nab thieves.
