Too late
Today, someone stole a package off my doorstep. Too bad, it was the video doorbell to prevent my packages from being stolen. FML

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, I received an email from a shipping company telling me they had dropped off a package of expensive electronics at the front door. Too bad someone stole it before I made it to the door. FML

The nerve!
Today, a couple of packages were stolen from our apartment doorstep shortly after being delivered. A little while later, the thief brought the torn packaging back and left them at the bottom of our stairs. FML

Today, I got a notice on my apartment door that I'd received a package when no one was home, and it was left at the backdoor. I don't have a backdoor. FML

What was in the box?
Today, I got a notification that a package had been delivered. I opened my door and saw it on at doorstep. I was expecting one, so I grabbed and opened it, then realized it wasn’t mine, but my neighbor’s. I had to awkwardly re-tape it, then sneak over and leave the disturbing contents of the box on their porch before they noticed. FML

Today, I had a package stolen from my porch. It was a shipment of customized M&M's for a Valentine's gift. I spent $60 for someone else to eat "I love you" messages. FML

Today, I found out one of the neighborhood kids has been stealing from my mailbox. Several packages marked "delivered" had gone missing over the last few months, so I set up a trail cam in the yard. I notified the USPS and the police; they confronted him at his house. He's been reselling everything I ordered on eBay. FML

Today, I got a notification that my package had been delivered. I searched my porch, checked with my neighbors, and even contacted customer support. It was sitting in my car's trunk because I'd picked it up from a parcel locker yesterday. FML

Today, I bought a new mailbox to replace the old one that was stolen. Two hours after I put the new mailbox up, the old one was back and the new one was missing. FML

That's "Gift of the Magi" - level irony right there.

Install a lockable box next to your door. Have two chambers. This way the mailman can use one, and UPS can use the other. Just have a message and locks available for the delivery person to use.

Maybe you should shop-lift a video doorbell to even things out. Then you can install it and prevent crime going forward. At least you'll be even-Steven.

A video doorbell doesn't "prevent" anything. All it does is take pretty pictures so the police can track down the asshats that are stealing packages. Make it not worth stealing and then maybe they will stop. Used cat litter makes an unholy mess when someone opens a box full of it. Similarly with used dog food (buy "used" I mean it's already been through a dog). Quit shopping online, make sure someone is home to receive those packages, or install a lockable box for the delivery company to use so the packages cannot be stolen.
