Rebecca Edwards, a home security expert with SafeWise, joined Eyewitness News live to discuss how you can prevent package thefts.
While Chicago wasn't among the cities where porch pirates were found to be most active, Edwards said that is because the city didn't report any larceny theft data to the FBI.
"But they did have high searches for Google Trends looking for stolen packages, lost and stolen packages," Edwards said. "So I do think that there are some package thieves out there in Chicago doing their worst." With the news that the Palos Park Police Department is about to make their building available for residents to have packages delivered, Edwards said changing your delivery location is one of the top ways to prevent theft.
"Have them re-routed to a package locker depot, Amazon Lockers are all over the place," Edwards suggested. "Sometimes FedEx or UPS, you can hold it at their place or send it off to a convenience store like Walmart." She also suggested signing up for delivery alerts so you know exactly when your package is coming and to require a signature at delivery.
