EAST NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Porch pirates may be lurking in East Nashville, but one neighbor is determined to not let them win.
One good Samaritan is bringing back holiday cheer — by returning stolen gifts.
According to Forbes, Tennessee is the eleventh worst state in the nation for porch pirates. In fact, Capital One Shopping found Americans lost more than $13 billion to package theft last year. Some porch pirates in East Nashville are continuing the trend.

“It appeared a package had been stolen off our porch,” recalled Janet Carr, an East Nashville resident. “I feel like it happened during the day.”
Carr told News 2 the porch pirates stole a family member’s Christmas present.
“She had these Italian running shoes sent here because they are celebrating Christmas with us, and we were a little concerned because they had not arrived,” said Carr. “We were expecting them, but we thought they were delayed because of the holidays.”
