Just saw a story on the news about a lady who collects the poop from her five big dogs and packages in in a amazon box and sets it on her front porch.This guy is, apparently, some kind of rocket scientist who has a good bit of spare time, a few extra bucks and/or friends with great production capabilities.

Yestt erday afternoon I had a package delivered; I saw the delivery truck pull up so I got up from my desk and walked to the door to bring it in. The truck took off but as I opened the front door I see a call slow-rolling past my house with the driver scoping out the porch. As soon as he saw me he decided he had somewhere else to be and sped away.Apparently this is a huge problem now, and also Apparently none of the ideas of solutions are working.
How is e-commerce certainly the way of the future when we have not figured out the solution to a critical flaw in the program?

I read that right now Amazon sends a replacement no questions asked but that is not going to last, we need a solution.

Since we are headed for more online purchasing we as consumers are going to need investing in locked mail drop boxes on our front porch.

Well to that point I was reading a few days ago that we have these already but that those who have them claim that delivery people dont use them even when there is a big note on the door.
They are in a hurry you see, maybe dont care.

I can see that. Most people with that kind of repetitive job are on “autopilot” throughout most of their work day anyway. Such lock boxes will probably have to become more common before the carriers make it a habit of looking for them.

Loved the video! The other day there was a story that a young child was taught to be the one to go and retrieve the packages from homes while the parents stayed in the getaway car.
Gosh this time of year it has become a gamble if your packages will be there when you get home. More affluent neighborhoods seem to be at greater risk.
It's a lowlife that will steal but it's a really crappy person that would steal what are most likely presents for others during the holiday season.
One thing that bothers me is certain big items they don't even bother to box up. They just mail it in it's original box for all to see what it is. A basketball backboard, a hockey goalie net, a playhouse, a power washer are a few that come to mind. There they sit on the front porch for all to see.
Tracking the packages at least gives you a time span when they will be delivered and it is wonderful to have neighbors you can ask to keep an eye open when something will be delivered if it is impossible for you to be home.
I see the day coming we will all have to have a camera system installed with apps to our phones that can monitor, alert and record the unwelcomed persons on our property.
Yep. Unfortunately cameras only help with the thieves stupid enough to give a clear shot of their face or vehicle. Even then, it isn’t likely to be a priority for police.

Public executions for package thieves and hackers. I know it sounds extreme, but give it a chance.........

True Bob to a point. In my neighborhood stealing is still a priority because we are not a high crime area. But if I had a camera and my neighbor had a camera there's a good chance that they could glean enough identification to identify the person(s).
LORD how sweet it would be if every city, town was Mayberry.
Secure pick-up points seem to work well. I can send all of my Amazon packages to the local post office.
