Video: Seen This Guy Around Stealing Mail?

SACRAMENTO, CA — 'Tis the season for package theft, which may be why this guy was so casual about snatching merely mail from a Sacramento home.

As shown on the Neighbors app in the first 15 seconds of the video (there's nothing to see after that), the man strolls up to the mailbox as casually as if there were no such things as surveillance cameras. And then he strolls away.

If you have information on this case, call Sacramento Valley Crime Stoppers at (916) 443-4357.

A recent report by the Chicago-based market research company C+R Research found 92 percent of 2,000 people surveyed expect to get at least one online order delivered to their home this holiday season, and nearly half said they're worried their packages will be stolen. Some 42 percent said they won't buy expensive items online, and 32 percent said they'll do their shopping at brick-and-mortar stores.
