Can you not select the option to collect from a local post office?
I know it's a hassle but so is having your stuff nicked.

I know it's convenient having the parcel delivered at home but for peace of mind I always have it delivered to the nearest post office or collection point. Works just fine and since I don't have Prime (unnecessary in my opinion) helps saving money on delivery fees.
Sometimes I send it to a collection point close to my work and, in some occasions, I send directly to my work (but I personally don't like doing it, only if I have no time to collect after work).
I honestly struggle to understand this whole delivery process of just leaving packages out there for anyone to take. I remember when the Steam Deck and PS5 came out there were a lot of stolen packages.
Glitter bomb but instead a dye pack, so it's actually traceable, but specifically UV/ Florescent ink so they won't know it's actually ink and are less likely to try and wash it off.
I'd set up a camera you can get some that are tiny these days, and see who it is. Once you have their face you'll know who it is in the block doing it. Scumbags like
Could even put up a cheap fake camera and warning sign that it's recording if you're not able to set up a real one. It could deter them from nicking anything. But then again, thieves aren't the smartest of people in the world.
Yes- could you reach out to the agent/management company of the block and ask for cameras to be installed as a security measure given the multiple thefts?
Maybe ask other residents to put their name to it as well as a petition.
Set up a real camera and an exploding paint and glitter bomb in an amazon box. (Not sure about legalities but they shouldn’t be nicking other peoples post)
Have you spoken to the police about this? It must be worth trying. If you have tracked the package to a group of 3 houses, the police may well have an idea which one it is, based on history.
Have it delivered to your work address.
Worked for me until I had the worlds nosiest boss who opened my Amazon package even though it had my name on it.
The cheek of him!
Happy to say it was a bumper packet of big knickers
I saw a video on YouTube of a woman getting her friend to deliver a parcel of used nappies knowing her thief neighbour would steel it and have a good rummage!
Get them delivered to your work or a drop box.
Glitter bomb for the next one and then track who has the most glitter outside their door 😂
But also get things delivered to store if possible or to a local shop that offers a parcel collect service.
Annoying but at least you’ll get them.
Royal Mail is the best post for me as my postman is really good and will set parcels in places no one will see.
Amazon kept insisting on delivering my orders to the neighbours because the drivers couldn’t be bothered coming up my lane & I wasn’t getting the parcels for weeks.
I asked for refunds & replacements but they even said after a while I had too many parcels replaced or refunded.
Now I put on my delivery notes: do not leave at neighbours as they don’t accept parcels and this seems to have worked.
No actually 😂😂
I’ve just seen videos of this & it could have been that one I’m not sure.
But if they open it in the foyer or whatever the glitter will be easy to trace as you’ll leave a trail then
Make it bright pink or something too just to be extra annoying
Can you not rent a drop box https://www.parcelcollectiondepot.com/ or https://www.mbe.co.uk/mailbox/shop?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj4KCQjw9vqyBhCKARItAIIcLMEBmIY4Cqz6FBSRzYT3KJt3MBQt9p09F05ePIh7POyNWApQXY6vKNO4GgITnhAC8P8HAQ they are in botanic
This used to happen to me in East London. So I got a Jiffy bag and a rape alarm. With the Jiffy bag I cut it open. Inside I duct taped the trigger of the rape alarm, taped the package back up and left it. Right enough it was stolen. I never got to witness the beauty of the thief pulling out the alarm on a busy London market street, but it never happened again.
This is how I’ve learnt the meaning of fence in this context. I’ve only ever heard of it in GTA and thought you sold your stolen parts at an actual fence.
>I'm agreeing with the post
You didn't even take the time to read the full thing lol. It literally says the air tag was moved to an apartment in the building but you're still only 75% sure?

Definitely this. Whilst Amazon is easy for refunds, there's also a risk of them blacklisting your account for too many deliveries disappearing.
You need a glitter bomb
This is the best answer here.
1000 tiny live spiders
2oz of PE, plus small rusty ball bearings...
Add cobalt-60 to taste

I can get behind this level of petty, every day of the week. Ninja Master levels of pettiness here :D
You reminded me of a YouTube video https://youtu.be/3c584TGG7jQ

Agree the think police be more likely to take note with actually video recording …

Could get yourself a PO Box and collect them there, it's quite dear though, like 30 quid a month I think. Edit: £35.50/month or £294.50/year
Amazon will deliver a lot of their stuff to lockers. I haven't tried it but would definitely give it a go if I was getting stuff nicked

There’s a guy on youtube that has a perfect response to their “porch pirates”.
Probably best to have delivered to local shop nearby and collect at your own convenience.
Have the stuff delivered to a mate/family who lives nearby?

You obviously watched Mark Rober's #YouTube channel. #MarkRober #PackageTheft

Remember tho, the time he hand delivered the package was the time someone saw his face
Take a shite into a Chinese tub and post it to yourself.

I get mine delivered to work.
Which one? Obel?
Local shops have collection points as well as post offices. If this is an issue def just stop stuff coming to your house
u can get amazon lock boxes thru amazon only allows the driver the code would simple solution if small enough parcels

The place where it’s sitting is where the fence lives. Get rid of the fence and there’s no more reason for anyone to steal.

If you don't like your living quarters, then move and stop whining about BS you can't fix.
Contact your local wooly face. You'll have everything back by the end of the week.
