    That's brilliant. Anyone here try that?

    Thankfully I have never been a porch pirate victim.
    My main problem was after getting a notice I had a package to be
    delivered and then trying to track down the shipping company.
    Call their 800 number and get caught in an endless loop. The same with
    web sites, kept being sent back to the main page.
    I sometimes left a note to deliver it to a nearby business.
    Now I simply have items delivered at a business and pick it up the next
    day.
