While most people are online shopping this Christmas season, this unfortunately means an increase in package thieves.
Attorney General Murrill offers Louisiana consumers the following tips to keep their neighborhoods safe from porch pirates:
- Get your deliveries at more secure locations. Ship packages to work or use the "ship-to-store" option.
- Sign up for delivery alerts so you may track the package and possibly arrange to be present for home deliveries.
- Require signatures for your deliveries.
- Ask a neighbor to get your packages if you are not able to be there when they arrive.
- If your package was stolen, contact law enforcement but through their non-emergency line.
