Hulk Hogan's Clearwater Mansion Invaded By 'Porch Pirates'

CLEARWATER, FL — Not even former professional wrestlers are immune from the antics of “porch pirates” as the busy holiday package delivery season swings into full gear.

Case in point: Clearwater Police are looking for help identifying several women accused of driving up to Hulk Hogan’s mansion recently and swiping a package from his doorstep. The crime was captured on surveillance video released by the police department via Facebook on Thursday.

The video shows a four-door sedan pull up outside the Clearwater Beach mansion. Four women are seen jumping out of the car, climbing the mansion’s stairs and helping themselves to a package left outside the front door.

It is unclear if Hulk Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, was home at the time.

“Porch pirates,” as law enforcement officers call them, are thieves that surf residential areas in hopes of spotting packages that have been dropped off by Federal Express, UPS and the postal service. When they find a target-rich environment, they swoop in to do a little “front porch shopping.”

Bollea’s home evidently was too good a prospect to pass up despite its rather lengthy front staircase. At one point in the video, it appears as if one of the suspects hears something from behind, but no one is seen coming out of the home. The car the women arrived in, however, does take off before the women make their getaway. They are seen running from the home and across the street.

Bollea has had an interesting year. In March, a Pinellas County jury awarded him $140 million win in a lawsuit he filed against Gawker Media. Boella’s attorneys sued after Gawker published a video of the former wrestler and Heather Cole, the one-time wife of radio personality Bubba the Love Sponge, having sex. Boella contended the website’s decision to make the video public amount to invasion of privacy and emotional distress. The jury agreed.

Rumors have also been circulating for some time that Boella will soon make a return to the WWE. The Hulkster has yet to confirm those rumors.
