Cops are on the lookout for a man who swiped a UPS package from a neighbor’s doorstep Wednesday afternoon.

A reader sent us security footage of the thief pulling car doorhandles outside a home near East 22nd Street and Avenue Z. He then strolls up the house’s front door and snatches a package that had been left by UPS an hour earlier. The timestamp says the crime took place around 10:30am. However, the neighbor said the security system is six hours slow and the theft actually occurred around 4:30pm.

Police say the package contained a a $14 t-shirt.

Last year, the commanding officer for the 61st Precinct, Sheepshead Bay’s station house, said the neighborhood [experienced a jump in “opportunity crimes”](/police-captain-reports-drug-addiction-driving-recent-uptick-in-burglaries/) — often perpetrated by drug addicts looking for an easy way to make a few bucks. He advised residents to make sure their doors are always locked and to always call police to report a crime or suspicious activity.
