This YouTube video, posted January 18, 2017 by Ryz Security, claims to catch a passerby attempting to steal packages from Amazon right off a front porch in Kalamazoo's Vine Neighborhood. The man claims he was just picking up a nickel he spotted. You be the judge- was a crime prevented by a security camera and a watchful Kalamazoo homeowner?
