Tis the season for porch pirates [Video]

The holiday season brings festivities and cheer but also attracts porch pirates — thieves who steal packages from doorsteps.

In 2023, over 120 million packages were stolen across the U.S., and this year alone, package thefts accounted for $12 billion in losses.

With an increase in online shopping, porch piracy is becoming a more prevalent issue.

Thieves often target high-value items like electronics or brand-name products, taking advantage of unattended packages. To protect your deliveries, consider these steps:

Use alternative delivery options: Ship items to secure locations like parcel lockers, workplaces or local stores.
Invest in security: Install doorbell cameras, motion-sensor lights or lockable porch boxes.
Schedule deliveries: Require a signature or coordinate delivery times when you’re home.
Be proactive: Insure packages before shipping them.
