We've been having a lot of problems with theft of packages left on doorsteps in my neighborhood.

1. LOL! Great idea.

I put such items at the curb. They're usually gone within an hour or two, way before the garbage truck can take them.

2. funny. I get my Amazon stuff sent to the amazon lockers at a near by 7-11

3. We switched to the lockers as well.

It’s only two blocks away so it’s almost as convenient as home delivery and my packages won’t mysteriously grow legs and wander off before I get home from work.

4. I ordered one large item that had to be deliverd to the home. The delivery person

had reached over the patio wall and placed it where it couldn't be seen.

5. Blink cameras..

I get an alert within a minute and pictures/video for the police. No monitoring fee. Put a box of cat poop out there and wait.

6. Perhaps a Door Buzzard? I hear they work great.

Sorry. Could not help it.

Maybe a door camera?

9. I miss him. He would be great in these times.

[montana_hazeleyes]

10. Oh yes!

Miss him so much! Now I have tears.

[GulfCoast66]

11. Sorry! Didn't mean to cause pain!

[montana_hazeleyes]

12. Oh no. You didn't cause pain at all.

It's that kind of feeling of joy at the remembrance of a wonderful person , but sad they are gone.

13. Yes, that's a great idea, package theft is a real problem

I order alot from Amazon, so I installed one of these that lights up if it detects motion after sundown (about 4:30 pm here in the PNW at this time of year).

I also installed one of these in the inside of the window nearest my front door:

Of course, there is no camera in the security light, but thieves don't know that! Total cost, about $40 including batteries. It's worth every nickel!
