ATLANTA - Stealing a single package, no matter the value, off of people s porches could become a felony and require mandatory prison time, according to a bill approved by the GeorgiaHouse of Representatives.
The House voted 101-67 on Wednesday to approve House Bill 94, which creates a specific crime of porch piracy. The bill also makes it a felony to steal at least 10 pieces of mail from three different addresses or mailboxes. A conviction for either crime would bring a sentence of one to 5 years in prison.
