Porch Pirates
Every year, more and more of us do our shopping online simply for the convenience of having our items delivered directly to us. However, there are people out there that want to take advantage of this. I like to call them….porch pirates. These thieves want to steal your treasure right off of your porch. They will steal your packages without even knowing what’s inside. In fact, millions of Americans report being victimized by these heartless thieves. So here are some tips to help prevent this from happening to you.
First, track your deliveries and make sure someone is there to receive it when it arrives. Consider requiring a signature for your delivery. Or, you can even have it delivered to your place of employment.
Secondly, consider installing a camera system. There are systems available that replace your doorbell and are able to record any activity on your porch and send that video directly to your smartphone.
Report any suspicious vehicles or activity to law enforcement immediately. Provide us with a description and as much information as you can. Do not try to stop these pirates yourself. Let us do that.
Let’s package these pirates up this year and lock them away.
