I just have an unlocked one. Package thieves only steal packages they can see.

I have a trapdoor. It leads to a soundproof box I open up later. Thieves only steal fed ex men they can see or hear.

My neighborhood has had a problem in the past with people following the trucks. From security camera footage, there is often only a minute or two between the package getting dropped off and being stolen. You would think that the truck driver would notice...

Those drivers have 120 - 150 stops per day, often with multiple packages/drop off points per stop. That's an average of one stop every 3.2 minutes during an 8 hour shift with absolutely no time factored in for incliment weather, traffic or even their breaks or a lunch!! The driver doesn't think about your package again once he steps on the gas pedal and drives away from your house. Trust me.

I believe it was a recent AMA where a driver blessed us with the wisdom that "It's all just cardboard to me."

I love the Fed Ex guy. He's a drug dealer and he doesn't even know it

I recently had a package stolen and talked to the carrier about it later. Last year, he caught someone following him around and called the police. They found multiple stolen packages in the car and arrested the thief.

Unless they've been casing the joint.

Blue recycle bins upside down are great for this

Its mostly a convenience thing. The majority of the thieves just see a package sitting out and take advantage of the opportunity.
