Twice now we've had packages delivered only to have them stolen from the porch. The first time, the asshole thief actually left the empty box in front of my driveway.
The second time, I was at home waiting for the package and the Fed Ex guy didn't even knock. When I checked the status and went outside to get it, there was nothing there. Sometimes I wonder if the delivery guys are part of the racket.
Anyway, all across the country, they're making off with thousands of people's on-line orders and gift deliveries every day. Police and consumers have started setting up stings and investing in new technology that scares off or captures the thieves on tape.

The house we'll be renting in Arizona is serviced by Cox Cable/Internet. They have a package plan which contains the Smart Home program for like $5 more per month that monitors the front door from the customer's smart phone. I signed up for it.
Just get some Amazon boxes, fill them with all your leftover junk and put them on your porch. Throw a bag of dog-shit in for ambiance.
