Hey neighbors - At 4:26am last night, we had an expensive Amazon package delivered and stolen from our front porch.

The person delivering the package took a picture, so it was definitely delivered to our house. What's interesting is we have a Blink security system that recorded three clips all at 4:26am. Unfortunately, the system has been glitchy lately and I can't actually see the video clips.

So it's possible someone is following these Amazon drivers around and then quickly nabbing packages after delivery, or my system just didn't pick up the clip of the porch pirate who may have come later.

I just fixed my Blink system and purchased the cloud subscription which fixed my issue (my local usb storage was the glitchy part), so will be monitoring moving forward. But I'm curious if anyone else has run into this issue recently. I wonder if this is related to the recent car break ins as I've noticed an uptick on this listserv.

Of note, I talked to Amazon customer service and they are resending the product to me for free, which I very much appreciate.
