The US Postal Service says during the holidays it delivers three times the amount of packages it usually does. And when boxes are left unattended on doorsteps they become prime targets for thieves.

Diana Figueroa had expensive audio equipment for her boyfriend stolen right off her porch.

“I get there and there’s no package at the side door… and so he calls UPS and they tell us, well, it’s not our problem, people follow the trucks around all the time especially around the holidays,” she said.

Figueroa says, even more disturbing than thieves stalking delivery trucks, is the thought of a them invading the privacy of her home.
