There is a scale I think, for a laptop? Yeah I would go to a locker, for 90% of my packages? Nah, drop it at my door and we will deal with it if someone steals it on the super rare occasion.

The problem is so ubiquitous , they’re commonly known as “porch pirates”.
“~Two million packages go missing every day, 90 000 in New York alone”
And the video is five years old.

It’s low as a percentage of total packages, but some areas are worse than others. For instance, in San Francisco it’s necessary to leave the trunk of your car open overnight so professional thieves don’t break your window to check it.

Compared to other systems, seems like it’s pretty high.
Universal basic income would discourage crimes like that.
If I had to get a car in SF, I think I’d go for a small hatchback so you can see into the trunk, if it’s that bad.

I’m not saying they don’t exist, I am saying there is a price threshold vs convenience for which I worry about it happening. If something is stolen or not delivered it is captured on camera and I can just dispute it.
