AUTUMN MEADOWS- Package Theft

Each Christmas I remind people to be careful about theft of packages that they expect to receive through UPS, FEDEX, or the Postal Service. However, as neighbors in Autumn Meadows have found out, package theft can occur any time of the year.

A homeowner reports finding UPS boxes in the vicinity of 119^th between 45^th and 46^th Ave SE three times so far this year. The boxes, 2 empty, 1 containing inexpensive merchandise, were found near a green electric box near a greenbelt.

Sometimes package thieves will dump unwanted packages. They also may follow delivery trucks at a discrete distance then take the boxes left at front doors. If you discover abandoned boxes or see a suspicious vehicle driving slowly in your neighborhood following a delivery truck, call 911 right away!
