Answer: Packages to Porch Pirates
Clues: “Delivery” and “Theft”
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.
