Package theft, often referred to as "porch piracy," occurs when someone steals a package that has been delivered to a home or business. This crime typically happens when packages are left unattended on doorsteps or porches, making them easy targets for thieves. With the rise of online shopping, package theft has become increasingly common, especially during holidays and sales events. To combat package theft, many people are turning to security measures such as surveillance cameras, smart doorbells, and secure delivery options. Some delivery services also offer features like package tracking and delivery alerts to help recipients know when their items arrive, reducing the chances of theft.
