New Study Says Porch Pirates Steal 1.7M Packages Every Day In U.S.
This is crazy! Have you ever had your package stolen from your front door?
Knock on wood…I haven’t….yet. I’m just waiting….
Although I did recently order a new dog bed for Louie, and I haven’t seen it yet. It’s been about 2 weeks.
Just need to be careful and watchful this holiday season.
Porch piracy has reached a fever pitch in the U.S., where 1.7 million delivered packages are stolen every day. The staggering number, revealed in a study by the New York Times, represents more than $25 million in lost goods.
Get this… New York City…has approximately 90,000 deliveries disappear daily!! By comparison, the Denver Police Department reports about 700 incidents a year. Washington D.C., where 1,846 incidents were reported in mid-November — which means the number will be a lot higher by the time the holiday season is over.
The number marks a dramatic increase from 2018, when 1,546 thefts were documented for the entire year. Whoa! It’s BAD this year!
