Now I know why P.O. boxes are usually better for picking up packages.

Sadly for me, I became the next victim of package theft last night. Hopefully all of you are safe and have theft deterrents in place. Little recourse exists for such crime.

Lesson learned for me: no more overnight delivery!

And to add: sometimes, the hardest and most valuable lessons comes from the most expensive mistakes.

Criminals follow those trucks around - sometimes the drivers themselves are involved. Use the lockers at stores.

Not only Amazon, but USPS and other companies allow delivery to lockers located inside grocery stores or near convenience stores. Prolly one near youse. I think some deliver to Amazon lockers too if you have access to those. Or you can have them hold any delivery at the distribution center for you to pick -up. 


Can't just have them drop it over a locked fence on property? That's what I do, place a padded catcher at the bottom so it has a soft landing. You know they bounce those packages around anyway!!

Exactly! That was my expensive mistake. This is something I'll have to learn from now on.

If the driver was involved, a pattern will emerge and you may be able to recover your things with an arrest.
