You know, there was truly a package thief at work in the Pittsburgh area about a month ago:

While the police seem to have an idea who did it, the mere publication of a story like this encourages copycat crimes, don't you think?
We had a valuable package that we shipped to a Pittsburgh area address go missing in October. So the thieves are definitely out there. Our UPS and FedEx contacts tell us that it is more common this time of year.
I would suggest that you have any valuable packages sent to your workplace, or even to a neighbor's where you know someone is always home.
