Wow. I have security footage of that same van being driven by a female that stopped in front of my house. She got out and walked up to my door and grabbed a package off my door step in the middle of the day and took off. That was a few months ago.

It’s an older-model Subaru Forester, according to our photographer.

  Correct WSB, it is either a 2001 or 2002 Forester, “L” trim

Please Judge, throw the book at him. DUI is no joke. Porch piracy deserves more repercussions too. Good job and thanks SPD.

An officer brought a package to our house today that they had found in a stolen car- just saw this post and low and behold, our package is sitting on top that table! So glad we got it back, it’s presents for my son from sister in law in Michigan. Our first Christmas home (and not there) so I’m extra grateful to have this package turn up.
