I have one small item coming today but the delivery for Wednesday is a big one from Kohl's. I get off work at 2:00pm on Wednesday so I hope to be home. My deliveries are almost always after 4:00pm, they always leave a hub that is about a half hour from me that covers a lot of area.

I wouldn't warn them either. If they are stealing, you know they are desparate. Just think what that already desparate person would do if they knew they were being caught by camera. They would destroy the camera and the window to the camera, then you would have no way of catching them.
I swear, I really don't know whats wrong with people. It seems like the holidays are always worse for stealing. I guess its just too hard to actually earn money to purchase stuff, when you could just steal it....... Shesh....... stealing packages right off someones porch. I hope you catch them, be sure to let us know.

I hope it's just the kids in the neighborhood and it will deter them. Before she moved my neighbor used to get my packages after one was stolen and with another one she saw the boys on my porch. She shoo'd them away and got the package.

Ditto on this. If they don't know they're being filmed the police might be able to find them. If found you might get items or money for items back. If they see your note with camera...... glass breaks easily and all they would have to do is follow the wires. With no note they might not see your camera. Best wishes.

Like I said before... I want the Christmas gifts, not just to catch them. I can do the camera again without any warning but for right now, I'd rather get my packages. If it wasn't specifically gifts that I would have to go out within 2 days and replace, then I wouldn't do the note.

That is terrible that you even have to do this. I was too thinking that someone may take your computer too! Good luck w/catching them!

Do you have anyone, a niece, nephew, relative that could come over and wait for your mail?

AngieS

This way too if they are there then the person won't even be tempted to come onto your porch!

my friends husband made a box for the porch for packages..it looks like a cooler. the ups guy must have a motorcycle, because if he sees the return address as a parts place, he puts in behind the fence! lol
