KALAMAZOO MI (WKZO AM/FM) – ‘Tis the season for holiday parties, decorations…and porch pirates…people who poach packages that aren’t theirs off of porches and doors.
The Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety says that despite the presence of thieves, people can take measures to minimize the chance that their holiday packages get taken.
Doorbell cameras have become very popular, as they not only provide a picture of the area the package will be delivered to, but can also warn potential thieves that they are on camera.
Asking delivery services to place the package in an area not readily visible, asking for a text when the delivery will take place, having parcels delivered to a neighbor or your place of business, or have things shipped to a store for pickup there, are ways to help prevent theft.
