    • Have not had porch pirates in my area yet. But I do put bricks or rocks in the boxes so they do not blow away. And I do not shop on line. When we do shop on line (where I work), have shipped to us as there is always someone there to receive the parcels. Some of the young adults that work for us, we have told them to use the "work" address for any on line purchases. Everyone is safe.
