China News Service, February 23. According to the US "World Journal" report, avoiding the epidemic at home has led to an increase in online shopping, and parcels and letters have become the targets of thieves.
Recently, there has been an increase in parcel and letter thefts in Arcadia, a Chinese-populated area. The Asian Police Department has shared security measures and sent police to try to stop these thefts.
Miss Wang, who lives on Fifth Street, often buys online after the outbreak, and packages are delivered almost every day.
She lives in an apartment, and usually the courier company puts the parcels in the lobby on the first floor.
The lobby was not locked before, so all kinds of people came in and out at will from time to time.
She recently lost several packages in a row. The most irritating thing was that she bought two boxes of skin care products. When they got them, she found that the package was opened and one box of skin care products was missing.
She complained to the administrator and found out that she was not the only one who lost the package recently.
Surveillance video shows that a Hispanic man took the contents of his package. This person is obviously not the person in the apartment.
Perhaps there are more complaints from everyone. The administrator recently locked the entrance on the first floor and needed a key to get in and out. This eased the loss of parcels, and at the same time reduced the loss of letters.
The Asian City Police Department stated that it has recently received more reports of packages and letters from the public. In order to reduce the loss of letters and packages, it is recommended that people use package and letter reminder services.
The police reminded that if you see a suspicious person looking for or checking your or neighbor’s mailbox, please call the police and ask the public to consider installing a safer locked mailbox.
The police urged people to collect letters in time and try not to put letters and packages in mailboxes or doorways, especially at night.
Inquire about overdue letters. If you have not received the desired check, credit card or other valuable letters, please contact the sender and make inquiries as soon as possible.
In addition, do not send cash by mail. If you cannot receive the package at home, you can arrange to pick up the goods yourself or use the USPS reserved mail service.
Choose the signature confirmation service. When mailing important letters, please consider setting signature service requirements for the intended recipients.
