*Subject:* [MPD-1D] Package Theft Prevention Tips

   How can you avoid your Amazon, UPS, FedEx, USPS or eBay package from 
being stolen from your front door and prevent package missing? 
Fortunately, here are some AMAZING package theft solutions to help 
prevent your package from being stolen from front door or porch, 
especially after the Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

*1. Use Smart Package Lockers*

**

To avoid your Amazon package being stolen from your front porch, use 
Amazon Locker <https://www.amazon.com/b?node=6442600011>. Amazon allows 
you to pick up your delivery in Amazon Locker in selected locations 
across the country with a unique code, which you can punch into the 
machine to retrieve your package. Amazon locker will be the safest and 
convenient place to secure your Amazon package. If your community 
doesn’t have an Amazon Locker, and you are a frequent online shopper, 
use *The UPS Store.* <https://www.ups.com/dropoff>

*2. Have Packages Delivered to Your Workplace/Office*

**

We have heard many people complaining about package thieves or bad 
neighbors sneaking around the street and looting drop-off deliveries, 
irresponsible mailman or carriers leaving packages on the front door 
without even knocking or ringing the door, pre-signing your delivery 
without your consent, or delaying home delivery by sending notifications 
too early. You should have your package delivered to *your office* or 
*friends’ houses* that you trust and will be there to get your package. 
It will help stop package theft and missing in the first place.

*3. Install Security Cameras *

Security cameras pointing at your front door, hallway or driveway is 
better than no camera at all. A security camera will serve as a great 
deterrent for criminals and it helps to prevent package theft, 
especially visible HD security camera like**on the front door, which 
captured package theft 
<https://www.facebook.com/100009427245302/videos/1847511912239699/> in 
broad daylight. Buy security cameras <https://store.reolink.com/> that 
are *at least 1440p*. Optical zoom and high-resolution surveillance 
cameras can help with a positive identification when package theft 
happens.**

*4. Require Signature on Delivery*

**

Many customers grumble about delivery man signing the unauthorized 
packages and leaving them wide open on the porch or doorstep, making 
them desirable for package snatcher.  To prevent your package being 
stolen off the front porch, side door, back porch, or garage area, ask 
for *signature delivery* 
<https://www.ups.com/us/en/shipping/services/value-added/delivery-confirmation.page>.  
If your package is delivered by UPS/DHL/FedEx, consult your sender and 
require delivery confirmation..

Lastly,  if you see something,  please say something! Call us whenever 
something seems out of place....someone lurking around, looking in cars 
or looking at front doors of houses? We would love to know what you see 
in our communities.
