That should have been "It could be handled" not "I could be handled."

I could be handled the same way real estate lock boxes are handled. Everyone who has access has a unique key code, and access is tracked.

I expect we'll eventually have locked safes on our porches.

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.

"We had a box out on the street for three minutes before it was taken," said police Capt. James Crecco, who is overseeing the mission. "We thought it was a mistake at first."
