I would've been laughing my ass off at the mook!

Who doesn’t love a good dose of fast-acting karma getting served up to a would-be thief? Especially when it involves the robber getting their car stuck on a pile of snow during a ham-fisted getaway?

Today’s serving of karma gets picked up by an alleged “porch pirate,” one of society’s most irritating new class of property-swipers.

Thieves spy a package sitting on the doorstep of someone’s home, deposited there by a parcel delivery service, and decide to yoink the bundle and make a quick buck. Revenge stories abound, including the one about a homeowner who put dirty cat litter in a box as bait.

Several years ago in Bangor Maine, a thief stealing catalytic converters from dealerships backed into a snow bank and imprinted his license plate in the snow.

I guess he was wary of the wannabe thief.

Amazing that the bad guy found one of the few surfaces from which the snow had not been removed.
