Vigilante property manager brings a package thief to justice, catching the tenant on surveillance video and saving other residents from future theft: ‘You can tell she's trying to hide it’

Property managers are rarely on the side of their tenants, but when there's a thief on the loose in the complex, perhaps the status quo can change.

A landlord or a property manager will always feign to share their tenants' best interest, but when they show their true colors (usually on the first of the month), it becomes clear that they're really only in it for the money. In the modern era of tenancy and renter lore, it's best to stick to yourself, stay in your lane, and not count on your property manager or landlord overseer for much else apart from a spare key or a calendar reminder. If you're a renter and there's a leaky faucet or if you had your Amazon deliveries repeatedly stolen, usually you'd be hung out to dry, but in the rare case of the residents in this next story, the property manager was as keen on finding a delivery thief as the residents were.

And for that, he's a real one.

With nothing to go on but delivery timestamps and a resident's word, this property manager got to work on catching a rampant, entitled thief.

Using every tool and every surveillance camera on the premises to their disposal, this property manager scoured this luxury complex for the thief's true identity. Little did they know, and after many hours of piecing together grainy footage, the culprit was none other than one of the esteemed residents themselves: A lavish, luxury woman with a set of sticky fingers. Although they would never admit it openly, there was no denying their face on the security cameras pocketing what looked like another person's mail.
Hmm, could this be cause for eviction?
Regardless of the final outcome, without the dutiful diligence of the property manager, this information would have never seen the light of day or the swift hand of justice. We all know how tenacious a property manager can be; it's just nice to see them wielding that strength for the good of the people instead of the good of their pockets.
Although the first of the month will always roll around, this property manager has forever earned the respect of their tenants. All it took was an ounce of humanity and a comprehensive CCTV system to get this landlord to feel a change of heart. Finally, we have a story where a feudal lord wields their landlordly power with an iron fist for the sake of their tenancy.
