[Chat] stolen packages from porch

[SLG2700 at cs.com]

For those of us who work at home, there are not many options.  

I called UPS two days ago because the UPS driver was dropping packages off on 
the front porch without ringing the door bell.  I was told by the supervisor 
that the driver is ALWAYS supposed to ring the door bell before leaving a 
package on the front porch, when a signature is not required.  I also learned that 
you can put a sign on your door to leave any packages with a nearby neighbor 
and that anyone can call UPS and request that their address be marked 
"signature only" for all deliveries.  Depending on the volume, the package may be 
redelivered to you at a time when you are home, or you will have to go to the 
central pickup in South Baltimore to pick it up.  The supervisor spoke to the 
driver and now the driver rings the doorbell before leaving the package on the 
porch.

The CVCA will alert Officer O'Donnell and the CVCBD Safety Patrol of this 
problem.  It would help if anyone who is a victim of package theft from their 
front porch would call 911 to report it and get a report number so that we can 
follow up the investigation of that report.
