CRIME PREVENTION TIPS - PREVENT THEFT OF UNATTENDED PACKAGES AT YOUR BUILDING
There are steps you can take to help prevent theft of unattended packages from happening to you or your neighbors.
  • Pick up packages as quickly as possible.
    • Leaving packages for an extended period of time increases the chances of theft.  Most major shipping companies offer online package tracking, and some can even send you a notification when your package arrives. Utilize these and other services to avoid leaving your delivery unattended for long periods of time.
  • Request a signature or schedule a delivery.
    • Many shipping companies allow you to request a specific time frame for delivery, such as an evening or weekend when you know you will be home. You can also request that the package not be left without a signature. That way, if you are not around to sign, the carrier will try delivering your package at a later date.
  • Use a locker or other secure location.
  • Ship your items where you have the best chance of receiving them, such as your office or place of work.
  • Family members, trusted neighbors, or friends may be home when you are not.
    • Consider asking them to accept packages on your behalf or hold them until you arrive.
  • Package theft protection basics.
    • Keep the area around your front porch clear and visible.
    • Outdoor security cameras. Make sure your security cameras are highly visible.
    • Video doorbells with motion activation, are more likely to catch a thief’s facial features.
    • Post home security advertising in window and yard signs.
