Re: DIY parcel trap for box thieves

I get his concern, but there are ways around that without having anyone access to the box......or all that work and expense.  One can build a stout container box with self-locking (push down type) mechanism.  The day your item box is to arrive, you leave it open and USPS/FEDEX/UPS is instructed (on stout container) to push the lid down, after they drop off the item that one has ordered.

Since you (or your partner) has key to the stout container, the box will not walk away.  :>)
