That's a baffling conundrum. Movies, TV shows, YouTube videos, our desktop computer monitors...they're all in landscape mode, usually in 16:9 ratio, sometimes in the older 4:3 ratio. But it seems that 80% of the time people capturing video on their phones do it with the phone vertical, getting a portrait-mode image. I wonder why that is? You'd think we'd be more hardwired by now to turn the phone sideways.

I did very much enjoy when it seemed the homeowner got bored and maybe even a little charitable after a long while. He offered to go get a shovel for the thief. I was kinda expecting the guy's engine to overheat or throw a rod or something. He kept redlining the RPMs with no load on the engine. You could just see a cartoon thought-bubble over his head: "How can this be happening to me!?"

Re: Porch Pirate has a very bad day

Dangit. I was hoping that when the guy came around to "rescue" his girlfriend, that he would twist his ankle carrying her back to the car and they'd both end up in a mangled heap of lower-leg injuries.
