Most online orders provide tracking numbers to help you know exactly when your package will be delivered. Being home at the time of delivery is helpful to prevent theft. If that is not possible, requesting a signature upon delivery or sending it to your workplace are also options. Patrol Officer Kaity Weidman of the Lima Police Department says they haven't received many reports of package theft happening so far, but that could change as Christmas gets closer.

With so many people buying presents online on Cyber Monday, people should keep an eye out for thieves taking packages off of their doorstep.
