Having a package stolen is extremely frustrating, especially if it happens multiple times. So, what can you do if you’ve been the victim of porch piracy?
If you’re certain that your packages are being stolen, it may be worthwhile submitting a police report.
Read on to find out how to report your stolen property to the police and what they might do next.
From a young age, it’s drilled into us that the best way to contact the police is to dial 911. However, 911 is an essential resource, and it should be used for emergencies only.
Whilst your stolen package may feel like a serious crime to you, in the grand scheme of things it doesn’t warrant a call to the emergency number. Instead, you should try filing a report via a non-emergency line for your local police department or online instead.
The best number for you to call will vary depending on where you live, but a quick search on Google should help you find it fairly easily. The same can be done to find an online form to alert the police to your stolen items.
Once you’ve submitted your report, the police will try to contact you directly if they require any follow up information.
Unfortunately, it’s rare that a one-off thief will get caught. If you have security cameras or something like a ring doorbell, you might have some video footage that can help the police to track down the culprit (if they actually have time to investigate). If you don’t, it can be a bit trickier.
Even if the chances of the police finding out who stole your package are low, it’s still worthwhile for you to submit a report. If multiple packages in the local area have been targeted at once, the police may have more evidence to work with and be able to stop whoever is to blame.
Additionally, if you’re hoping to submit an insurance claim about your stolen items, having a police report can go a long way to help expedite the process.
The best way to stop package theft is to prevent it. Luckily, there are a few options you can explore to keep your deliveries safe and sound.
