BIZ PACKAGE-THEFT BZ
Amazon’s Prime Day gives shoppers an opportunity to flex their deal-spotting muscles ahead of Black Friday. It also gives package thieves their own chance to warm up.
Although the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas see far more parcel deliveries – and therefore, more brazen from-the-stoop thefts – Prime Day’s limited 48-hour window creates a concentrated opening for “porch pirates” to make their move, said Brody Buhler, managing director of Accenture’s post and parcel industry group.
