When police went to the home of Tagui Abrayan they found mail and packages from around 300 residents of the San Fernando Valley, Malibu and west Los Angeles.
Abrayan was caught when victim David Pulido`s package failed to arrive and he checked his security cameras.
As he watched back the footage, he saw the woman making off with his post and contacted police.
They then received security video from other victims in the area and used the footage to apprehend Abrayan on Thursday morning.
Speaking to CBS Los Angeles Mr Pulido said: `People are actually bold enough to pull onto a driveway, pull out of a driveway and take whatever they want.
`This has been a safe neighborhood and all of a sudden I feel like it`s changed.`
Police found parcels belonging to around 300 residents at Abrayan`s home.
Inside those packages were prescription drugs, altered cheques, a counterfeit driving licence and thousands of documents from a Beverly Hills medical office, the broadcaster reported.
The postal investigator is also looking into the case, as police recovered a home made key to get into apartment mail boxes.
Police are also trying to trace the driver of the car. He has a tattoo on his right arm.
