Don’t be a Victim to Porch Pirates!
With the holiday season ramping up – don’t be a victim to porch pirates! Are you ordering online and having packages delivered to your home? Here are four tips from Denver Police District 1 to ensure your package is not stolen off your front porch:
- Have your package delivered to a safe place – your work site, a trusted neighbor
- Track delivery so you can be home when your package arrives
- Choose a shipping option that requires a signature for delivery
- Ask the shipping company to hold your package for pick up at their facility
