 And if you're one of the millions of shoppers who went online this week for deals from Amazon, you should watch out for thieves who want to get your package instead. Police are warning about porch pirates who swoop in and steal deliveries once they're dropped off the door. Best way to protect yourself is to have the package delivered to someone you know will be around and you can trust. Surveillance cameras, another option. And Amazon also offers secure pickup locations where you can get the delivery when it's convenient.
