Protect Your Purchases
Many of us do shopping online, and as the holidays approach, we are beginning to see an increase in the thefts of packages from front porches and mailboxes. One way you can help protect your purchases is by:
- Asking neighbors who are home during the day to keep eye out for deliveries.
- Learn what security services are available from your chosen courier.
- Consider insuring items to be mailed.
- Report suspicious persons in neighborhood.
- Consider having packages sent to your place of employment, if allowed.
- Contact package recipients and tell them when to expect delivery.
- Consider sending packages so that a recipient signature is required.
These are helpful tips that may protect you, however, if you find yourself a victim of theft, please contact the Police Department at 714-990-7625.
