Haven't been hit, yet. Do enjoy watching home videos of thiefs getting busted.

Not here, because we're in the country, and off the road. The biggest majority of the thefts have come in urban areas, where they pull up to a house, jump out of their car, steal a package, and be back in the car and gone in less than a minute.

Someone needs to box up a few rattlesnakes, and set them out so they can be stolen.

Would love to see someone try that at my place. We are remote with the closest neighbor being 3/4 mile away, which always made me think we would be burglarized or have stuff stolen. Not the case, might have something to do with a 110 pound redbone coon hound that runs loose. And that he bit the UPS man to the tune of 8 stitches last fall. Good guy and all it cost me was a new pr of boots for him.

there is almost always someone in the 'hood watching out for things. I have packages sent, and request they be left on the porch. I have an enclosed screen porch, so the packages are not visible from the street.

Not in my neighborhood. There have been some mysterious occurrences of flat tires on vehicles parking where they shouldn't however. Karma? Who knows? I have given some thought to contriving a few medieval deterrents, but they are only thoughts at this point.

Rattlesnake sounds good, I haven’t been hit, but my neighbors have. Cameras are a good idea!

Spokane wa. has been getting hit hard for the last two years. Videos for the UPS guy dropping off a package and as he drives off a person comes around the corner of the house into view of the camera and picks it up and disappears.

Yep, the folks who do it professionally just follow the delivery trucks through the neighborhoods.
Haven't seen or heard of that much in our area but I am on a local "Next Door Neighbor" social media email list and there have been sporadic reports of it.

We have had some package stealing going on down here. Have any of you all had this happen? Not yet as the thieves are too lazy to drive out all this way and my little neighborhood is really hard to find. Had 3 or 4 different phone calls from census folks during the 2010 Census telling me I didn't live where I lived and were demanding I give them my correct address. Last guy wanted me to put the phone down without hanging it up, walk to my nearest neighbors house, ask them their address and come back and tell him the address. I couldn't believe he hung up on me as I was laughing so much and didn't have a chance to say some bad things about his lineage.

How about this? My son called yesterday. Seems someone is having my son's mail forwarded to another address. He went into the PO to get it fixed, with ID.
Azzwipes says they can't do anything about it, as he is not "authorized" to get his own mail delivery fixed back to himself.
