On Halloween, PORCH “PIRATES” only want your candy, as opposed to the rest of the year, when porch pirates want to STEAL YOUR STUFF.
According to new research, Americans lost an estimated $15.7 BILLION to porch pirates last year alone. That’s from 241 MILLION stolen packages.
The average loss isn’t huge. It’s $65 per package, and 85% are under $100, but that doesn’t make the inconvenience any less infuriating. And in some cases the loss of MONEY as well.
The most commonly stolen packages were from Amazon (72%), followed by UPS (31%), FedEx (30%), and USPS (29%).
States like New York, Hawaii, and Wisconsin report the most porch pirates, while Alabama, Kentucky, Oklahoma, and Maine report the fewest thefts.
