How Colorado Homeowners Can Protect Holiday Package Deliveries
In the heart of Colorado’s winter wonderland, the holiday season should be filled with joy—not worry. But as online shopping surges across the Front Range, so does the risk of porch piracy. With thieves targeting packages on doorsteps from Denver to Littleton and Summit County to Highlands Ranch, now is the time to take proactive steps to safeguard your home and your deliveries.
Why Porch Theft Is a Growing Concern in Colorado
Carriers like USPS, UPS, FedEx, and Amazon drop off thousands of packages every day across Colorado neighborhoods. Unfortunately, thieves often trail behind—snatching boxes from porches, even in broad daylight. It’s especially common in suburban areas where driveways and porches offer quick access with little visibility from the street.
Top Tips to Prevent Package Theft in Colorado
- Use local delivery lockers: Amazon and UPS have secure locker locations across the Denver Metro and mountain towns for safe pickups.
- Add specific delivery instructions: Ask carriers to leave packages behind gates, in backyards, or hidden by planters or furniture.
- Ship to work or trusted neighbors: If you’re not home during the day, reroute deliveries to someone who is.
- Install visible cameras: A doorbell camera or floodlight cam not only deters theft but gives you footage if something goes missing.
- Require signatures: For high-value items, always request a signature—especially in high-theft zip codes like 80210, 80120, or 80424.
Short-Term Options for Holiday Deliveries
Don’t want to take chances? Rent a PO box at a local post office or UPS Store for just a few weeks. It’s an easy, low-cost solution for the busiest shipping season—and gives you one less thing to worry about during Colorado’s unpredictable winter weather.
Keep Watch in Your Community
Colorado neighbors are known for being friendly—and that can be your best line of defense. Stay aware of any suspicious activity or unfamiliar vehicles. Consider joining a neighborhood watch or local Facebook group to stay informed and report incidents quickly.
