#2My guess is most of these people are resorting to petty crime to feed a drug habit.
Maybe amazon should put their tech and knowledge of supply chains to help bust large scale drug importers...

Maybe they should focus on fighting against the war on drugs.

#6This is why every Christmas I order Explosive Dye Packs with motion sensitive trigger from Amazon :-) Actually, no I don't.
I have considered some DIY solutions however, one being a 115 dB siren[1] and battery that goes off when it is taken. The intent being to draw attention to the people carrying the stolen package.

Guessing the homeowners are in on it if they're using hidden doorbell cameras.

#8Not a new idea: few years ago police here planted GPA trackers in packages to catch a thief repeatedly stealing from our subdivision package box. It turned out the packages ended up at the home of the newspaper delivery person.

Sounds clever, but how can you distinguish between a package that's being moved by a thief and a package that's being moved by the delivery person?

Amazon and others now send you a picture of the package on your doorstep, so I guess they'd let you know?
