In Queens, frustrated residents are fighting against porch pirates by filling their packages with dog and cat feces, hoping to deter thieves from stealing them. Video footage has surfaced showing a thief unaware of the offensive surprise inside the box. Residents share their experiences and strategies on neighborhood apps, with some claiming success in stopping package theft by using faux bait filled with waste. With an alarming number of packages stolen daily, this unconventional approach illustrates the lengths homeowners go to protect their deliveries.

I put cat litter in mine.
Porch pirates are a serious nuisance in the Big Apple: a staggering 90,000 packages are stolen a day.
