PORCH PIRATES ARE PREVENTABLE

Constable Mark Herman's Office wants to remind residents to be vigilant this upcoming holiday season as packages begin to arrive on our doorsteps.

The best holidays are safe holidays. Help us help you by following these tips to thwart package thefts:
1. Keep your neighbors updated about recent package theft activity
2. Share surveillance footage of a package theft in action
3. Ask a neighbor to pick up a package if your plans have you away from home
4. Offer to pick up a neighbor’s packages
5. Request for packages to be sent to your post office or participating location

If you observe any suspicious activity, remember to contact our dispatch or your local law enforcement. See something, say something!! Happy holidays!

I think people should start staging Amazon boxes so that when the box is opened, a spring mechanism sprays dog poop all over the "Pirates". Or Ink, if dog poop is too gross.

@Catmae : I've actually seen videos of some doing this.

I get all packages sent to work. Probably should put dummy box on the porch in front of cameras.
