Where I am, we have "Post Office approved" locks, cam locks for your post box that can be opened with your key plus a special key that the postie has, in case they have a parcel that won't go in the slot.
Yes, you can get one of the special keys if you know where to look
No, it isn't a problem because we're not a bunch of fucking savages ๐
Yea, a mailbox near your house all the time is not the same as a luggage that to through MILLIONS of people in a busy airport. Only take one scum out of a million to ruin it.
Fun fact: I never actually had a porch pirate. Well other than a neighbor's kid being a dipshit (or maybe mistaken it to be their package, who knows), but that eventually got returned, and one time, the delivery driver kinda stole it before it ever arrived on the porch, so it was not technically porch theft. Reported that one and got refunded.
Like never a random dude (or gal) that just walked up and grabbed a package. Like never!
This metaphor is so bad. You expect people on the internet to act like good neighbours?
