I guess I'm a traditionalist, but since no one has suggested it yet, I'll suggest an alternative: rally to enforce the law. I'd assert that societies that accept theft as the norm, blaming the victim for failing to properly secure their goods, are on a downward slope from which they will never escape.
Instead of accepting that "property crime gets no attention", increase the risk to those would would steal packages by making it more likely that those who do so are caught and punished. Put a tracking device in a bait package, record the theft with a video camera, and report the final location to the police.
If the police fail to react to such a credible tip (especially if you can do this multiple times), turn the video and police report over to some local reporters. I think (hope?) that the reporters would have a field day, and make enough noise that those particular thieves will not be in business much longer.
