National Package Protection Day
Every year on December 2, porch pirates meet their match. National Package Protection Day lands on the Wednesday after Thanksgiving, just as Black Friday and Cyber Monday orders start piling up on doorsteps across America. It is your yearly reminder to lock down your deliveries before the busiest shipping season of the year.

3 ways to celebrate
Lock Down Your Doorstep
Walk your property the way a porch pirate would: check sight lines from the street, add a lockbox or porch bin, and aim your doorbell camera at the delivery zone. Then turn on delivery alerts for every carrier you use, so no box sits outside longer than it has to.
Rally the Whole Block
Share your favorite package-safety tips with neighbors and offer to collect deliveries for anyone traveling this month. A street where everyone watches out for everyone else's boxes is a street that porch pirates learn to skip.
Give the Gift of Security
A video doorbell, a sturdy lockbox, or even a simple 'please leave packages at the side door' sign makes a thoughtful holiday gift for a friend who shops online. Wrap it up, and tell them December 2 is the day to put it to work.
