Perhaps the would-be thief didn’t know that FedEx drivers would be acting against company policy to leave packages on doorsteps without getting a signature with identification. Perhaps he thought he could get the driver to give it to him anyway. In any event, a potential porch pirate didn’t get a package that was addressed to a vacant house on Edmond Street and to a person who, naturally, doesn’t live there. In fact, as far as police know, no one with that name ever lived there. Darien police gave this further description of the incident last Thursday, Dec.
