If you are still waiting for your presents to arrive by mail, Columbus police have a few suggestions to make sure that they don’t get stolen off of your front porch.

Officers say that it is not uncommon to have several reports of package thefts at this time of year.

They suggest that you should track your package and follow that tracking closely, so you know when it should be arriving. That will also allow you to be home, or to have somoene at home when it arrives.

They also suggest that you require a signature for the package upon delivery.

Police say if you know you won’t be home during delivery hours, you could have package delivered to your workplace or to the home of a friend or family member.

You should also talk to your neighbors. That way you all can be vigilant for any suspicious activity.

If you see anything suspicious, they suggest calling the police.
