Awesome tips from our friends at Village of Lombard - Municipal Government for holiday shopping.

The Lombard Police Department is sharing tips and reminding residents about the importance of keeping safety in mind this holiday season.

Review the following tips to help protect yourself from Porch Pirates:

🎁 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗡𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗯𝗼𝗿𝘀: Before filing a report, verify with neighbors to ensure your package isn't at the wrong address. Look for delivery photos and confirm the location.

🎁 𝗔𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗱 𝗨𝗻𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗣𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀: Schedule deliveries for times when you'll be home, or ask neighbors to hold packages if you're away during the holidays.

🎁 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗲: Choose a retailer with a nearby physical location to avoid porch theft. Stores often require proof of purchase for package release.

🎁 𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗖𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘀: Install visible home security cameras or a camera-enabled doorbell to deter thieves. A surveillance sign adds an extra layer of protection, and footage aids law enforcement.

🎁 𝗥𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗮 𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲: Opt for packages that require a signature upon delivery. This ensures you take immediate possession, though it may pose challenges if you're not often at home.

🎁 𝗣𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀: Explore options like Amazon Lockers or independent businesses offering secure package receiving locations away from home. Pick up your packages on your way home.
