[Ipg-smz] Decoy Amazon shipping box on porch stolen within three minutes -- in Jersey City, NJ

[Dana Blankenhorn]

Honey pots could reduce box theft. Deliverypeople aren't allowed to leave
stuff in mailboxes. Some are authorized to carry wireless terminals and get
signatures, driving their own cars. Mine usually leave the stuff on my
porch, within view of my desk. Amazon has tried to put lockers into stores
so packages would be safe.

But delivery is a huge societal change we're still accounting for.
