I watched this video earlier today, and I've seen other videos where people's packages are stolen off their front porch. One was a super busy street where the porch was at street level and totally open for all to see. My first thought is: Why are you getting packages delivered to your house if this is an issue?

I live in a rural'ish area on a very low traffic street. I still get all my packages delivered to work. All the offices I've worked in have never had a problem with me doing this. My current office is a secure building with a metal detector and armed security. No issues.

If someone's on the road, or out of the office constantly, then have the package held at a UPS or Fedex store. Once UPS, Fedex, or USPS drop that package off on your porch, it's your responsibility.
