Enough is enough — Americans are watching videos of deliveries and mail being treated like trash, and it oozes disrespect for private property and for honest neighbors who paid for a service. Recent footage of packages and groceries being dumped — sometimes by fill-in workers, sometimes by drivers who simply walk away — makes clear this is not random; it’s a breakdown in accountability and common decency. Homeowners deserve the basic respect of careful, lawful service, not indifference or chaos.
In Athens, Georgia, officers found entire stacks of parcels dumped in a neighborhood after a driver allegedly quit mid-route, and the police themselves stepped in to hand-deliver more than 70 packages to frustrated residents. That is the kind of community-level response conservatives applaud: local law enforcement doing the job when companies fail to enforce standards. But charity from the badge is not a substitute for corporate responsibility and for criminal consequences when people abandon customers’ property.
This crisis goes beyond flaky private couriers — a postal worker dumping more than a thousand pieces of mail into a dumpster is a federal crime that threatens the trust that binds our postal system and commerce. When government workers or contractors behave this badly, families lose bills, prescriptions, and irreplaceable correspondence; citizens rightly demand prosecution and real consequences, not hollow apologies. Conservatives believe in the rule of law: if you abandon or destroy other people’s property, you should be punished to the full extent.
Let’s not ignore the criminal angle either: porch pirates and impersonators have grown bolder, stuffing packages into pizza bags and discarding the rest in the street after rifling through them. Businesses that rely on gig labor must stop hiding behind cheap labor arguments and start enforcing background checks, route monitoring, and clear contractual penalties for theft or abandonment. Free markets work when companies internalize the costs of bad behavior; when they don’t, taxpayers and neighbors pick up the tab.
Patriotic communities will not sit by and watch neighbors’ property get trashed. Install cameras, report crimes, demand prosecutions, and pressure delivery companies and government agencies to do better — and if they refuse, vote with your wallet and your ballot. Respect for private property and personal responsibility are not partisan slogans but the glue of civil society; we should take this moment to restore standards, insist on accountability, and stand up for hardworking Americans who deserve reliable service.
