I was moving my car when a guy rode by with a large Amazon package in the basket of his women’s light blue bike. I didn’t recognize him either. (Less than a dozen houses have been put up for sale since I moved in 5 years ago.) I drove around the block slowly and now his backpack was full and there was a fedex box in the basket. I have no problem following him as he takes a path that no one trying to go anywhere would take.

I call JPSO and tell them where he is going exactly. They tell me to find a location for an officer to meet me. I stop and tell the officer the same description I gave over the phone. By now, the guy had a 5 minute head start to hide.

Never had a package stolen in the neighborhood before and don’t want it to become something to worry about. I wish the police offered updates if you report something. At least let me know if you found him or not.

Should I have kept following him while on the phone or was stopping was my best option?

Maybe the guy on the bike is giving away packages?

You’re playing Jump to Conclusions with a human’s life there Mister!

If you lived in the city he'd have a 5 day head start.

Well, the person was shirtless. There were no scars from having breasts removed. You may have a point, mam.

It says you are in Jefferson. Just like it says I am in Metairie. You should know better that JPSO is not just Westbank.

It sounds like you let the guy get away IMO.


Next time take him out with your car.

I can't believe this question was asked.

Well, I’ve never met a guy the increases the number of packages by giving them away??? And for multiple delivery services at that.

I’m not playing with his life. Pull him over and check the names on the packages. If they match, let him go. If they don’t match, give them back to the people that paid for them.

Should have told the cops that he yelled out racists remarks when you confronted him and they woulda had his arse thrown in jail within 10 mins.

Did you actually SEE him take a package from a home or are you assuming he did?

The funny thing is that the packages were his; the bike was stolen.

If cops stop him, he shows proof that the packages are his, threatens a civil rights lawsuit, and pedals away with new wheels.

At least, that’s how I used to do it.

He wasn't shooting anyone, was he?

Sheriffs around here barely care about that, I really doubt any large city police would care, either.

Sad, bu true.
