Neighbourhoods with porches are seeing a surge of porch pirates using cars to sweep around residential areas and steal packages left outside front doors.

The extent of that problem is remarkable. The NY Times recently reported that 90,000 packages go missing in that city EVERY DAY, most of which are stolen. FFS!

Two alternatives: get it delivered to work, or to your post office when available (amazon, walmart and a few others). Otherwise stay home or let your neighbors know.

You’re overlooking the obvious one, denpanosekai: just buy less crap.

Even if you’re at home the delivery people never ring the bell anyway.
