Porch pirate spotted stealing from at least 2 South Florida homes

Miami-Dade County, Fla. ā€“ The homeowner checked her surveillance camera to see a dark-colored car pulling into her driveway.

A man in a red vest walked to the door, then returned to his car with a giant box before driving away.

In that box had been the makings of a Labor Day weekend.

ā€œIt was a barbeque that was going to be used with my family on the beach,ā€ the homeowner said.

This happened Thursday at the Marbella Park community in Miami-Dade County.

The homeowner doesnā€™t want to be identified but says another neighbor shared a similar video from the same day.

And it looks like the same guy with a red vest and a tattoo on the left arm.

Security at the gated entrance tells Local 10 News that heā€™s never seen the guy and keeps records of everyone who comes in.

ā€œWhy is he doing this? Heā€™s taking things away from people that are working hard and buying their own stuff,ā€ the homeowner said. ā€œHe really shouldnā€™t be doing this.ā€

Miami-Dade police are investigating. If you have any information that could help catch the crook, you are urged to call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477.
