Have you ever had a package from your porch or stoop? When I lived in Lawrence, KS, someone took a box with a phone charger off my front steps while I was at work. I haven't had any package stolen from my stoop in Brooklyn, but sometimes the box is "hidden" by our trash cans. More often than not, delivery drivers buzz a building until someone lets them in to drop the package in the foray. Is there a better way?

I fondly recall traveling to see the KC plaza lights on Thanksgiving night or falling asleep in the car on the way home from the Christmas Eve party and waking up in my bed on christmas morning.
Christmas Eve at my Aunt and Uncle's house was a big...
