Not yet. They'd have to be able to outrun bullets around here.

There was a post about this not long ago, can't remember who.
My dog will, with G force, charge the security door, barking like she has balls that hang to the ground. Then, runs around to one of the side gates and rages.
FedEx and UPS are terrified of her and I'd like to assure them that it's okay but frankly, I don't want to. I don't advise coming to my door unsolicited.
PS: my neighbors on both sides have the same kind of dogs. Actually, theirs are worse-- mine's nice when you get to know her. I'm not sure about theirs. So no, we don't worry too much about such things.
Crooks don't like dogs.

Following UPS on Twitter is one thing; following a UPS truck as it make deliveries is another.

Several years ago a homeless person stole my favorite sleeping bag off the clothes line, I let them keep it.

In our area it's a big deal. Out in the 'burbs I just have my packages delivered to the office. No pirates out here yet but I'm sure it's happened.

So far my neighborhood has been spared this activity. I received a package sometime last evening and did not notice it until this morning sitting right in the open view to all.

I live in a secure building and we recently had some attempts at stealing packages not inside the security door and a car parked outside lost its wheels one night. What is this world coming to?

I haven't heard much about this criminal activity in this area, but I'd definitely do something if I caught someone trying to steal something off MY porch. If I saw them trying to steal from someone else, I'd take a quick photo and notify the police.

Moreso misdelivered packages. I've picked up atleast 1 of mine this past year & I've delivered a few to my neighbors. It's usually USPS, not UPS that does that.

I saw something on the news the other night. In my area, Amazon deliveries are being thrown out of the truck. Wherever they land is where they are delivered. It is no wonder when packages are not truly delivered but merely dropped at the address.

John Bear I have not seen or am aware of any problems here with this. However, if I have a package coming I usually track it to delivery just to be safe.

Home owners need to catch up to the times.
But some HOAs prohibit the addition of a package screens by the front door.
Have some fun and set some traps. I have an old DeWalt case designated for that purpose.

We live directly across from a city park. There is always people walking which help keep this activity to a minimum.

We had so much nefarious activity in our neighborhood that we installed the RING system. Love everything about it - except when it rings when the birds land on the porch rail

While we have not had an issue (yet, know on wood!), our neighborhood has been dealing with this off and on for years. We live at the end of a cul-de-sac and are off the main road through our development so I think that helps us. Many neighbors have Ring systems and cameras. We also have a lot of work-from-home or stay-at-home people that post suspicious activity on our neighborhood FB page. They are pretty vigilant about watching for cars that aren't recognized and will call the police. It also helps that we have quite a few police officers and sheriffs that live in the neighborhood so they come pretty quickly when called. And yes, they have caught a few.

Not aware of such activity in our area in CT; in Miami condo, packages go to service desk. We monitor deliveries and have a camera that senses any motion pointed at driveway.
