Watch this porch pirate get caught trying to steal from California home — and give up

A would-be porch pirate was caught in the act.

Shannon Brandon from Glendale, California, and her son were eating breakfast Wednesday when a silver SUV pulled up in front of their home, according to Fox10. She saw two men jump out of the car and go in opposite directions.

Brandon’s son, Derek Brandon, spotted one of them picking up a package from a neighbor’s porch, CBS Los Angeles reported. He began filming on his phone.

“I told her, ‘I saw that guy just reach down and take the package,’” he said. “‘Mom! That guy is stealing the package!’”

Brandon can be heard on video yelling at the man to return the package.

“I don’t think so... go put that back, right now!” she said.

James Farr-Jones, Brandon’s neighbor, said he was grateful that she intervened, according to ABC30.

”I thought it was great, she just scared off these people,” he said. “I thought it was really funny, honestly, that they came back and did it instead of running or dropping the package. It’s the best ending.”

Neither of the men involved have been identified, according to Fox10.
