Package Thief Is Leading To A Very Weird Police Interaction.

Location: Texas

This story is going to be horribly oversimilified. Im writing it as if it took 3 minutes. It was more like an hour-ish.

I build computers for people on the side as a side hustle and have packages coming to my front porch A LOT. Well used to. Ram prices have slowed my side hustle down.

Last tuesday my neighbor came over and grabbed a package off of my front porch and set it in his garage on a chair.

My package wasnt on the porch so I checked the camera and the angle clearly shows him crossing the street, grabbing the package, and then placing the package on a chair in his garage.

I call the police walk them over and let them see the label showing my name and address. Soon as the police agree its my package. I just walked up and grabbed it.

The officer looked like he wanted to stop me, but didnt say anything. I just walked back to my house as they dealt the the thief.

I very quickly put the 5080 and 32gb of ddr 5 ram into the PC I was building and got a knock on the door a few minutes later.

The police told me they needed the packages as evidence. Yeah thats a 1k video card and 400 bucks worth of ram. (Price when I bought it). I told them it wasnt going to happen and the police said he has me on body cam taking a possession from the person across the street. I need to play ball or face the consequences.

I chose the middle open and threw a package of red beans into the video card box and just taped a 2 pack of AAA batteries into the box the ram came in. I sealed them up and gave them to the police. Obviously out of their view.

Well today they called me and left a voicemail stating they know what I did and need to talk.

Which I am not going to do.

What kind of trouble am I looking it? Is this just a cop who is being overzealous?

Also if you are wondering why my neighbor took a package off of my front porch. Well he is a male Karen. The literal reason was he was suspicious of the constant packages to my house, 3-4 a day, and wanted to make sure i wasnt up to something.

That was his actual words to the police officer as to why he took it.
