The boy delivered a paper to the wrong house, and went back to get it.

The caller saw someone walk up to a porch empty handed, and leave with something.

With all the news stories about stolen packages from doorways,
the suspicious neighbor did the right thing.

But it got classified as racist?

Even the mother said as soon as she told the cop they were delivering papers, he left.
