News reports are already coming out about holiday porch pirates. This is a busy time of year for those looking to take unattended packages from your front porch.
Here are a few items I found that you could pick up to help ward off these would be thieves.
- 1
Get A Camera
These cameras are getting pretty sophisticated, and can actually be purchased without destroying your wallet.
This camera has motion detection, night vision, 2-way audio so you can talk to whoever is at your door, app alerts for when you're away, and even has a deterrent alarm.

Blind Them With Flood Lights
These flood lights I found claim to be "super bright" and actually have some pretty decent reviews. The reviews say it is easy to mount, and you can easily get the angles you are wanting.

Get A Doorbell Camera
Doorbell cameras are becoming "all the rage." They give you a decent view, allow two-way audio, some have alarms, and they're not as obvious as the camera hanging down from your roof.
They range in price, but these seem to do the trick without destroying your wallet.

Bear Trap
You could always just leave racoon and bear traps scattered across your yard. Sure this would make it tough on the delivery guy who is dropping off the package you ordered, but any thief would have to be crazy to try and navigate a yard littered with these and who knows what else.
Also, today I learned you can buy a bear trap on Amazon. They really do have everything.
