C+R research is out with a new study about package delivery, illustrating some of the problems inherent with e-commerce delivery programs:
• "92% of consumers expect to get a least one online order delivered this holiday season."
• "54% are fearful of packages being stolen when making online purchases, 42% avoid buying certain items due to theft."
• "36% of consumers have reported having a package stolen once within the last year (This is up from 31% from a separate 2017 study on package theft)."
• "44% of those impacted installed a camera or a doorbell camera after having a package stolen (82% believe this provides 'peace of mind')."

I don't want to jinx myself, but I've don't think I've ever had a package stolen from my front door. (Though I do have a Ring camera, which does make me feel more secure.)
I'm more worried about the guy who delivers my mail, who in a rainstorm leaves packages in the driveway rather than take a few extra steps and putting it inside the garage where they stay dry.
