‘Tis the season of giving. It’s also the season for “porch pirates”…….thieves who steal delivered packages from front doors. About 90 thousand packages are stolen every day in New York alone. Here’s how you can protect yourself.
- Have your package delivered to the home of a relative or friend that you know will be home.
- Have your package held at your local post office for pickup.
- Take advantage of “Ship to Store” option that many stores offer. Amazon offers a “locker” feature that allows you to pick up your package from a secure location.
- Request that your package has signature confirmation upon delivery.
- Ask your carrier to place package in an area out of plain view.
