Porch Pirates Act of 2025

This bill would amend federal criminal law (Section 659 of title 18) to cover theft of packages after a private or commercial interstate carrier delivers them. It would make it a federal crime to embezzle, steal, take, carry away, or obtain by fraud a package or other article delivered by such a carrier before the addressee or the addressee's agent takes physical possession of it. The bill also states that Congress has the authority to give matter left for collection by these carriers the same protections as matter carried in interstate or foreign commerce.
