This is getting more common every year. Many thieves think the penalty for this crime is a mere slap on the wrist. I was surprised to learn that even if the package comes UPS, it is still considered mail theft, and can result in Federal charges.

As I said elsewhere just save your Amazon boxes. Drop a deuce in them, tape them back up and place on your porch.

I have been told they get the same protection as mail carriers, so if you mess with them you could have the Postal Inspector paying you a visit.

In the Dallas news- in the last few days, they nailed a guy in Farmers Branch with a bunch of stolen packages.
That was pretty much his full time job, stealing packages and selling the stuff on line.

I'm surprised one of these porch thieves hasn't been shot. Pretty gutsy especially with all the guns people have these days. Sooner or later ...............

I wonder if it's against the law to send a snake via UPS? If it's legal, have someone send you a rattler or two.

Last year my wife caught a high school kid trying to steal a box of medicine she had shipped ups. He was lucky I wasn't home, he just got away with a lecture from my wife.

I live in the sticks. Not an issue. Other than the delivery man always seems to show up when I am taking a dump. My dogs go nuts.


And I know who "Jeff" is.

I don't have that problem. The drivers here often just slow down, and throw your stuff out in the drive way.

Depends on the order. I had a Fed EX man knocking on the door yesterday delivering a laptop. Laptop I needed to sign for evidently. Mid glory.

Probably had a High Claim Value, or Insured in the bar code on its label. Even the Post Office seems to be more careful with highly insured items.
