The lockers usually have surveillance around them.
So you’d go there, open up an empty box and it would be incredibly easy to show who stole it. Plus even if there wasn’t surveillance, you could film yourself opening the slot, which would then show an empty slot.
So yeah, it does make a difference. The package is never left unattended, it’s never “up for grabs” by anyone.
That being said thieving and whatnot is comparatively rare in Finland anyway. We’re #1 in the wallet drop test. edition.cnn.com/travel/…/least-honest-cities

They stole it explicitly because they thought they could get away with pretending someone else stole it from the door by photographing it by the door… Nobody can steal it from inside a locker. It follows that they wouldn’t have done it in that scenario.

Except there are cameras on porches too, so it isn’t like they got away with it, but it doesn’t seem to matter right? In a locker situation who is going to review thefootage, how would you go about that? Couldn’t they put an empty package in there and claim someone else did it anyways?

Never heard of this happening to anyone whereas porch pirates are literally everywhere doesn’t seem reasonable

So I got curious, and the instances are on a different scale. Where a person gets a hold of the master key and steals ALL the packages. Which is kind of what I was alluding to: it all breaks down once the person who handles the package decides to go rogue.
Yes it is less frequent and lockers are safer of course.
