ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - One in three Americans report having at least one package stolen in the past year, with losses exceeding $20 billion nationwide.
During the holiday season, more deliveries land on front porches, increasing the risk of package theft. Videos often show thieves grabbing packages seconds after delivery.
To combat this, consider using Amazon's secure lockers or in-home delivery system.
Amazon lockers are located inside businesses, offering a secure pickup option. For in-home delivery, a compatible garage door opener and security camera are required.
Amazon Day delivery consolidates orders into one drop, reducing boxes and potentially earning credits for digital content. If a package is stolen, Amazon's A to Z guarantee allows claims for refunds or replacements.
Police advise sharing video evidence of theft with them and community groups.
