Stop the Porch Pirates
The holidays are the season for “porch pirates.” Help keep packages delivered to your porch out of the hands of thieves. Consider an alternative shipping address; ask vendors to require your signature for their deliveries; track your deliveries and be at home when they’re scheduled; and make it look like someone is always home. If you’re the victim of theft please file a police report online. Your information combined with that from others can help police identify the thieves. Visit LongmontColorado.gov and search “online police report.”
