Porch piracy spikes this time of year as online purchases increase leading up to the holidays. Local law agencies encourage all to watch out for the greedy grinches hoping to capitalize on your online shopping. How can you spoil the porch pirates’ holiday? Don’t leave packages on your porch. One of the best ways to avoid becoming a victim of porch piracy is to track your packages and be prepared to retrieve the package as soon as possible after delivery. If you are unable to do so, have a neighbor, friend, or family member watch for the package. Having it out of sight reduces availability for porch pirates looking for an easy opportunity for free stuff.
