Porch Piracy Surges as Prime Day Approaches, Study Finds
A new Ecigone study using SafeWise data estimates Americans lose about $14.9 billion in package theft annually, with over 104 million deliveries stolen nationwide, as Prime Day (June 23–26) approaches. Chicago and New York City lead in total losses, while per-capita theft is highest in Virginia Beach and Baltimore’s ranking has surged. The report advises shoppers to use secure delivery options (Amazon Lockers, signature confirmations, delivery-day scheduling) and to enable delivery alerts or video doorbells to deter thieves during big shopping events.
