The holiday season is a joyous time, but unfortunately, it is also the top season for theft. Here are some ways to protect yourself from porch pirates:
- Have your deliveries sent to your work.
- Request your package to be held by the shipper or courier.
- Have a neighbor or nearby friend/family who is available to pick up your package, or place it somewhere that is out of sight. Sign up for delivery notifications.
- If you are ever face-to-face with your delivery driver, such as UPS or FedEx, consider sharing where you would like future packages placed.
- Sending outgoing mail? Consider driving it to the post office or using a locked box for outgoing mail. Thieves will look to steal mail hoping to score a gift card or cash.
Enjoying the holiday season is easy, but preventing theft isn’t always. We hope your holiday season this year is free of criminal activity.
