    anyone who leaves an undisguised very expensive electronic item on their front porch unattended deserves to have it stolen

    This happens more often than you think. Sellers will just slap a shipping label directly on the item and send it out if it's too big to fit in a plain cardboard box. That combined with delivery services dropping packages off when most people might not be home, well, that's a lot of time for the box to be sit unattended.

    I once took time out of my day to go home and bring in a PC monitor that was delivered at 10 in the morning (my shift didn't end until 4pm). The monitor was shipped in its own box and was very obviously a monitor to anyone walking or driving by my house. I'm lucky enough that my boss let me go home and get it; not everyone has that luxury.
