She Called The Cops On Her Neighbor For Stealing Her Amazon Package, But Her Mom Thinks She Went Too Far
Package theft is one of the biggest issues people have been dealing with in the last ten years.
The more we’ve been ordering off services like Amazon and Instacart, the more tempted thieves have become to snatch unclaimed packages off someone’s front stoop or in their apartment lobbies.
One woman recently called the cops on her neighbor, who brought their young child to steal packages off her doorstep, and now her mom is making her feel guilty for doing it.
She’s married with kids and recently gave birth to a baby boy, so her body is still recovering, and daily tasks have been more difficult. Although her husband is usually able to get groceries for their family, he recently went on a business trip, and it was up to her to get food.
She decided to order groceries and other things she needed online and have them delivered to her house to make things easier.
“My other kids were at school, and I had put my son down for a nap and folded the kid’s clothes while I waited for the groceries,” she said.
“What I forgot was that I was getting packages that day. I ordered a milk machine because my other one broke and a blender from Ninja. On my Ring camera, I could see my neighbor picking up my packages and running with them. [They had] some kid, [who] looked [to be around] eight with them. The reason why I didn’t know my packages were outside was because my phone was on the charger.”
She immediately called the cops, showed them the Ring footage, and told them where that neighbor lived. Then, when they started taking action, she felt a little weird.
“The cops showed up, and I felt embarrassed, but I don’t know why,” she recalled.

“I was given back my packages, and I thanked the cop. The kid that was with them was crying. I actually hate it when people use kids to commit their crimes with them. One of the police officers asked if I wanted to press charges, and I told them no, but I did say if it happened again, I would gladly do it.”
As it turns out, she later learned from another neighbor that this wasn’t the first time that person had caused issues in the neighborhood. While she didn’t press charges, they will be fined for trespassing.
For a while, she felt she did the right thing by calling the cops, but now her mom is making her feel guilty about it and telling her she was in the wrong.
Should she feel bad, or did she do the right thing?
