I don't believe in warnings. Just do it.

I hate that packages are just left at the door. At least you have been able to have them delivered at work.
Hope this is a strong enough deterrent. I agree with another poster, thieves almost act like they wanna get caught - like it is a dare.

We go to a little country church and never used to lock the doors, after all God's house should be open to all, but now we lock the doors. So sad!!

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.

Well, UPS didn't leave the package anyway. The sender required a signature so they left a notice. I got online and changed the delivery to Will Call. There is a place not too far from my work so I'll get it today.
I still have the large delivery on Wednesday and hopefully I will be home by the time it gets here. That one is from another place that I already received one of the packages so I know that it will be left without signature. I was home for that delivery but he knocked and was walking away before I got to the door.
