Doorbell Camera Catches Porch Package Theft on Mount Curve
A daytime grab on the 1600 block of Mount Curve Avenue was caught on a homeowner's camera.
A doorbell camera on the 1600 block of Mount Curve Avenue in Lowry Hill captured someone taking a parcel from a front porch in the middle of the day, the homeowner reported. The footage has been shared with neighbors, and no arrest has been announced.
Daytime grabs are common
Porch theft tends to happen in daylight, often within minutes of a delivery, when a carrier's route is easy to follow down a block.
Lowry Hill News publishes the block only and identifies no one who has not been convicted.
Footage that works
Camera clips are most useful when they show a clear face, clothing or a vehicle and carry an accurate time stamp. The homeowner has filed through the 5th Precinct; others with video from the 1600 block of Mount Curve Avenue can add theirs via 311.
One neighbor's clip is an anecdote; five clips of the same person is a case.
