“Package Theft 3” is the third in a series of videos posted by the Prince George’s Police Department showing people stealing packages off of doorsteps. But if “Package Theft 1” and “Package Theft 2” depict run-of-the-mill instances of this crime, which has increased alongside the uptick in online shopping, “Package Theft 3” is a sublime departure from its predecessors—a scene of slapstick worthy of the Three Stooges.

“Package Theft 3” shows an incident that occurred on November 29, according to the PGPD, in which a suspect steals a big-screen television from a doorstep in Fort Washington, Md. The suspect, wearing a sweatshirt, sweatpants, and bright yellow gloves, scurries out of a small car to grab the package. Then, with the large box in his grasp, he falls over as he runs back. He is not deterred. The saga has just begun.

First, he tries to fit the package in the back seat. It doesn’t work. Then, he moves to the trunk, trying multiple combinations to position it—none of them successful. That’s when he returns to the back seat, ultimately deciding to stuff the purloined television in there and leave the side door open.

With the side door and trunk both still open, he gets back in the car and the driver careens them away.

So far, “Package Theft 3” is a more popular video than the others by a factor of 10. “He was determined to try to get this box out of there,” says PGPD spokesperson Nicholas Clayton. “I think that’s why he’s getting so much attention.”

Clayton says that the department posted the videos with two purposes in mind: to find leads for the incidents and to raise awareness about how residents can protect themselves from package theft. There were 62 reported instances of package theft in Prince George’s County from mid-October through last week.

“Package theft is a crime of opportunity,” says Clayton. “You can only imagine it’s going to get worse closer to the holiday season if people don’t make the effort to be more crafty than these thieves.”

The police department suggests picking up ordered items; having packages shipped to a neighbor, friend, or family member who will be home during the day; requiring a signature; or shipping packages to secured places with lockboxes.

The Slapstick Suspect isn’t the only porch pirate making waves. In D.C., one thief was spotted on a nearby surveillance camera dancing before stealing packages on the 3500 block of T Street NW on December 9, according to video posted by D.C. police.
