Package theft is on a rise this year!

My neighbor just had a Canon 15-35mm stolen from his porch today!  His cameras got footage of the guy taking the box.  But police have no leads yet as he was wearing a hoodie.  

When you have pricey gear coming, grab it fast before the bad people do!

Do you not have to sign for the packages in the States? Where I am if they don't physically put the box in your hand, then they haven't delivered it and it's been stolen from them, not you.

 I bought an Olympus camera from Adorama a few weeks back. It was delivered by FedEx. The shipping instructions said, "signature required". It, however, was left out front without so much as a ring of the doorbell. In this day and age of Covid, many things have been altered. Add to that the sheer number of items being shipped and there are bound to be issues. I'm currently awaiting a lens for my camera. FedEx again. I had received an email saying it was out for delivery, but checking the tracking number, it says it's still in the shipping facility...Oh, BTW, when I checked the tracking on the camera, it said it was handed to me....

Yeah I've just moved to a new apartment building. In my previous one, they could leave parcels with the security guards, but in my new building, you have to collect it yourself every time. It's really irritating, because I'm out every time they come. Luckily they are pretty good at rearranging to deliver when you're free, but it's a bit weird that they don't just arrange the time in the first place. I got a message from Apple the other day saying "Your package is being delivered today" four minutes before the guy showed up in my building. Of course I wasn't home.

While humorous, the cost involved is way overboard...
