People don't bother because they know that law enforcement rarely does anything about it. San Jose, CA a couple years ago had someone catching porch thieves on video yet SJPD said they wouldn't pursue the matter further. Not surprising considering how low the penalties can be, if the DA even moves to prosecute.
I'm in Sacramento, which is now #5 on the list, and while there are organized theft rings that will basically follow delivery trucks, many of the package thefts here are done by the homeless. Due to rising thefts, the Amazon Lockers have been a great thing to have.
