Daring porch pirate filmed while stealing doorbell camera

Updated

Just as the holiday season is ramping up and deliveries are at an all-time high, it looks like porch pirates are getting more brazen.

A recent video caught one such individual not just stealing a package, but the actual camera that was filming him! The 'Ring' doorbell cameras, which many homes have installed to deter thieves from stealing their packages, are the latest on the list of things they are actually looking to take.

In this situation, Adrienne Bursey and her family were asleep inside the Denver home when the long-haired bandit went to work stealing her camera. It only took him about 15 seconds to disconnect and remove the device, but he was being recorded the whole time.

"It's bold," Adrienne Bursey told Inside Edition, “He knew that he was going to be on film and he didn't care."

Denver police are still looking for the culprit who apparently hit many other homes in the area. They also have begun to warn that one camera may not be enough, as this ‘security camera thievery' is a growing trend.
