Top tips on how to avoid falling victim to doorstep parcel thieves this Christmas As the 25th December fast approaches, many people will be ordering items online and having them delivered, making "this a prime time for opportunistic theft". Doorstep thefts are particularly common at this time of year and Parcels delivered to people's homes that are left unattended could "easily" be stolen by doorstep thieves. There are however a number of things you can do to reduce the risk of doorstep theft, including but not limited to the following:- Install a video doorbell; this can be connected to your mobile so you are notified immediately of any delivery, and is easier to install than a full CCTV system Tracking your parcel to ensure you or someone else is at home for the delivery Arrange for your parcel to be delivered to a trusted neighbour, or other family members who will be at home Use an off-site locker service for frequent deliveries, or for expensive items; these parcel boxes are more likely to be in busy, safer locations - such as supermarkets - rather than secluded areas which could be targeted by thieves | ||
