"After our third package, any that came when we weren't home disappeared. Nothing else we order online ever gets stolen. My husband recently got a free Ring camera through work, and we figured maybe it could give us answers. We watched the video, and it's James and Helen! Even when there are other, more expensive-looking packages on the porch, they only steal these ones."
"My husband and I disagree on whether to somehow confront them (my approach) or go nuclear and talk to the police (his approach). We live in a duplex. Our neighbor, who owns the other half, rents it to tenants. Currently, a 50-something couple, "James" and "Helen," rent it. We tried to get to know them when they moved in, but they brushed us off, so we left them alone. It's been fine ... until now."
A duplex homeowner discovered that tenants in the neighboring unit were taking packages of specialty incontinence underwear ordered for an elderly relative. The packages disappeared only when nobody was home, and Ring footage showed the tenants, identified as James and Helen, taking specifically those shipments while leaving other, more valuable packages alone. The homeowners had limited prior interaction with the tenants. One spouse favors a direct confrontation with the tenants; the other wants to involve police. Suggested immediate options include leaving a note or speaking in person to present the evidence before escalating to law enforcement.
