Porch pirate takes debit card feet from pregnant homeowner, drains account

EATON, Colo. (KDVR) — An Eaton woman is on high alert after she says a porch pirate followed a delivery driver, walked onto her driveway and took her husband’s debit car while she was feet away in her garage.

The thief took the card from the family’s front porch almost as soon as the delivery driver set it down. Fortunately, the homeowner had a surveillance system that captured the brazen porch pirate taking off with her package.

But nothing could have prepared April Clement and her two children for what would happen.

In her Ring doorbell camera video, you can see a FedEx driver delivering packages to her home. Minutes later, a man dressed in all black walked onto the Clement’s porch and swiped her husband’s debit card.

“In the video, you can see how fast it happened,” said April. “He was just watching them.”

“It happened in the past when someone put in the wrong address and they just were picking up a package, so I didn’t think much of it,” said April’s husband Landon Clement.
