After you have ordered your gifts online, they usually are
shipped to your home. Package thieves regularly troll neighborhoods looking for
packages on front porches to steal. Here are some tips to avoid becoming a
victim of package theft,
·
Ask a trusted neighbor to pick up your package
after delivery.
·
Track the package’s progress online. Then you
know when it is delivered.
·
Ask to have the package placed on the back porch
or out of sight on the front porch.
·
Have the package delivered to a nearby UPS or FedEx
package store or where you work. Amazon also has lockers at select locations
where you can have it delivered.
·
Install a camera that covers your front porch.
Make it visible to discourage potential package thieves. A warning sign may
also help.
·
Consider a device to protect your packages such
as a “Package Guard” disk or a locking box.
·
Request a signature on delivery. That way the delivery
driver hands you the package after they have received a signature. If you are
not at home, they will return on another day or you can pick up the package at
their delivery facility.
·
Participate in Neighborhood Watch. Encourage your
neighbors who stay at home to watch out for suspicious activity such as vehicle
following UPS, FedEx, or Postal Service delivery vehicles.
