I think because we naturally hold the phone in the portrait position, it's easier to use that way, and a lot pictures (e.g. selfies) lend themselves to a portrait framing. So when something exciting happens, people revert to their training, which is portrait orientation.

I was disappointed that the thief never managed to run over himself, and the homeowner never managed to turn his phone sideways.

I found only one article about the actual event (as opposed to just highlighting the video).

Stole kitty litter and toys on Amazon Prime Day in 2017, about $100+ worth.

Amazon replaced the items for free after the victim provided a police report number.

Thieves hadn't been caught as of the time of the article, although I would think this would be one of the easier cases of porch piracy to solve.
