Second, do an actual TV show of these people getting busted. I&#8217;d watch it and find it extremely satisfying, especially if they open a decoy box that happens to be full of something nasty that spills all over them. Admit it, you&#8217;d watch that show, too.<\/p>\n<p>Read More:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/kfmx.com\/lubbock-quick-cash\/?utm_source=tsmclip&amp;utm_medium=referral\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Legitimate Ways Lubbock Residents Can Earn Extra Income<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For an added layer of entertainment, we could have a Chris Hanson-style host who talks to the people who get busted and makes them look like absolute fools and creeps for their crimes. I volunteer, I&#8217;d be amazing at it.<\/p>\n<p>Facial recognition. Fingerprinting. Footage review. Whatever it takes. I want them BUSTED. I want Forensic Files level of attention to this.<\/p>\n<p>Why We Should All Be Passionate About This<\/p>\n<p>Why am I so upset by porch pirates? Well, there are several reasons, and they all point to that person being a sociopath for doing it. For one, they don&#8217;t really know what they are stealing. It could be medicine or medical equipment, for example. It could also be extremely useless to the thief, like a part for a machine they don&#8217;t own. And it&#8217;s not like they are going to return it if they can&#8217;t use it or sell it.<\/p>\n<p>Second, it constitutes a significant breach of neighborly trust. A porch pirate walks right up to your front door to take from you, something, anything, in the hopes that it might have some value. That&#8217;s so heinous. I&#8217;m kinda for bringing back the medieval punishment of making people wear clothes that state their crimes. They should have to wear &#8220;I&#8217;m a porch pirate creep&#8221; T-shirt so everyone else knows who they are dealing with- a person with total disregard for others.<\/p>\n<p>The Top 10 Most Wanted Gang Fugitives in Lubbock For November 2025<\/p>\n<p>Lubbock Police, Lubbock County Sheriff&#8217;s Department, and even authorities in other parts of Texas are looking for these fugitives who have been spotted before in the Lubbock area. Take a look and see if you recognize any of these fugitives.<\/p>\n<p class=\"photogallery-credit\">Gallery Credit: Chad Hasty<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Crime procedural shows like Law &amp; Order have given many of us the wrong idea about how crimes&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":76922,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[168,170,169],"class_list":{"0":"post-76921","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-lubbock","8":"tag-lubbock","9":"tag-lubbock-headlines","10":"tag-lubbock-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76921","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=76921"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76921\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/76922"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=76921"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=76921"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=76921"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
