A majority of holiday shoppers plan to have at least one package delivered this shopping season. However, this means they need to be wary of porch pirates.
according to Stanton. That could mean placing a package to the side of the door that's directly in front of the camera, for example, or toward the back of the home or even behind a fence or bush, he said.
Sometimes companies will even allow people to give them access to their garage for package drop-offs. However, trusting a company to have access to areas that aren't public can create issues, according to Stanton."The person delivering a package likely has good intentions and would not enter a garage area outside of the delivery," he said. "However, opening doors can lead someone to accidentally leaving them open.
This increases awareness. However, posting certain messages about what homes have been targeted can also pose some risks. "This is a double-edged sword. For the owner's benefit, and the benefit of the community, keeping individuals informed allows for preparedness of the community, as well as for follow-up and documentation for law enforcement," he said. "However, for the bad actor, they can also see what is going on in that community and react similarly by monitoring information and taking steps to carry out bad intentions.
