You might not be the only one waiting for a last minute holiday parcel delivery to your home.
Porch Pirates as they’re called by police are active everywhere – waiting to snatch goods left on your front step while you’re away.
OPP media relations co-ordinator, Bill Dixon, says it’s a year round problem but right now, it’s high season.
You can protect yourself from a porch pirate by tracking deliveries online to ensure you’re home if you can be.
If you can’t, ask a trusted neighbour or friend to receive your package.
If allowed to by an employer, have the packages delivered to your work.
