Anyone else seeing an uptick in porch pirates in the Las Colinas area?

Three packages stolen from my porch this month in Las Colinas (Valley Ranch area). Ring camera caught the same guy twice — driving a white sedan, no plates visible.

What I've done:

  • Filed reports with Irving PD (they gave case numbers but said it's hard to investigate without plate info)
  • Shared Ring footage with neighbors via the Neighbors app
  • Set up Amazon Locker delivery for anything over $50
  • Got a lockable porch box from Amazon ($80, holds 3-4 packages)

Prevention tips that actually work:

  • Amazon Locker or Hub delivery
  • Require signature for expensive items
  • Ship to your workplace if possible
  • Coordinate with neighbors to grab each others packages
  • Package lockbox (Bench Sentry, Package Guard, etc.)
  • Delivery notifications + action within 30 minutes
