I call BS.

The device had GPS tracker and it was used just few times, so chances of him NOT reviewing theif's route after each incident are zero. So he surely knew that the thief lived across the street.

According to the imgur album, one time the package was opened by his next door neighbor. A different time it was opened in his own house.

Indeed. My co-worker had a package thief that was his next door neighbor's son.

My hut feeling is that he’s trying to craft a narrative where he is not exposed as deliberately faking this, in order to save himself. From his silenence towards those trying to figure our what happened, it feels like he might have intended the fakes but not thought he would be caught. This also nicely explains the many original questions of why he would not preocecute the thieves. It was because he knew they where not actual thieves.

They were acquaintances, not neighbors.

No they were neighbors. They lived 2 doors apart on the same street.

Neighbors know when you're home or not better than anyone.
