Do You Recycle Your Amazon Boxes?

I’m thinking it’ll be a good thing to stuff them with trash, tape them back up and leave them on my porch for when I go somewhere. Let’s see if any of them get removed.

We haven't had a problem with porch pirates yet, but living in a Sanctuary State, it's only a matter of time. The crime, drugs, weapons, and murders are coming closer every day.

@AbbeyRhode My neighbor got a package removed over a year ago. She was questioning me to see If I had seen her package because sometimes she would ask me to get them and hide them or take them to my house till she got home on the days that she works. She mentioned it more than once and felt like I was a suspect to her. But a few months ago the subject came up and I told her they had caught a young man stealing packages and mail, had 17 charges on him and that was only for the ones he had been caught with, he had probably been doing it for a lot longer. She also mentioned that same day the package had come up missing that roofers had been redoing the roof on her house and wondered if one of them might have taken it.

@cherokeepatti I've seen some good videos on YouTube from people who booby-trapped boxes, too. :)

@AbbeyRhode they need to put ink in the boxes to mark the thieves. Or skunk stink.

@cherokeepatti One guy did put something stinky. Another one put fine glitter that exploded everywhere when the thief opened it. The reactions are hilarious. 😄
