It’s that time of year when people do a lot of online shopping, and SPD wants to remind you to protect your purchases from porch pirates. Our officers will be in full force this season, but here are some measures to prevent becoming a victim.
- Don’t leave unattended packages on your porch for an extended period of time.
- Always track your packages and know when they are delivered.
- Invest in a doorbell camera.
- Collaborate with your neighbors! Look out for strangers in the neighborhood. Also, you might agree to monitor deliveries at each other’s houses.
- Take advantage of retailers ‘ store options and pick them up in-store.
