Porch Pirates

Need to get rid of unwanted junk during the holidays?

Put it in Amazon boxes, and leave it on your front porch.

Porch pirates are individuals who steal packages that are left on doorsteps or porches, often targeting homes during the holiday season when deliveries peak. They typically strike quickly, taking advantage of the moment when a package is delivered but left unattended, often in broad daylight. This rise in theft has led to increased concerns among homeowners and prompted many to invest in security cameras, smart doorbells, or package delivery solutions. The phenomenon highlights the growing challenges of online shopping, where convenience sometimes comes with the risk of theft. As communities seek to combat this issue, awareness and preventative measures are becoming more crucial.
