- pavel_lishin 2y ago> There are also free ways you can avoid package theft, such as being at home when items are delivered Not unless you're on your porch all day. Plenty of delivery drivers don't bother ringing the bell when they drop off a package, so they can sit outside for hours until you step outside to check. And that's if you have a house. If you have an apartment in a major city, then possibly rejoice! because they won't deliver the package at all, simply pretend to push a button, and mark it as "nobody home to accept", and return it to wherever they live.

- RadiozRadioz 2y agoI think a better interpretation would be: Enough people think porch pirates steal so many packages that insurance companies are able to sell them insurance. Not to say the problem doesn't exist, it definitely does, but a goal of insurance companies is to profit from people's skewed perception of an event being more likely than it actually is. I bet they'll use stats from Manhattan to sell insurance in rural Wyoming. When I see insurance for things like this, it's not an indication that it's a big problem, it's an indication that people think it's a big problem.
