If you’ve ever had your deliveries stolen from outside the house, you’ll be happy to know cops are working to get those thieves off the streets. Using a tried-and-true method, police in Jersey City have set up sting operations, placing fake packages in high theft areas to catch porch pirates in the act.
Inside the decoy, Amazon-branded boxes are surveillance cameras and GPS units, which are tracked by volunteers. The Associated Press notes that the program is already a success, with cops nailing their first package pilferer in just three minutes.
Have you ever had a package stolen after it was delivered? What steps have you taken to try to prevent it from happening again?
