Unfortunately, package theft is a concern in Lakeport as it is in almost all communities, so we’re sharing these tips to help keep your deliveries safe.
Sign Up for Delivery Alerts. Stay in the know by signing up for delivery notifications. It’s good to know when your package arrives.
Don’t Leave Packages Unattended. When your package arrives, make sure it’s tucked away safely. Ask a friendly neighbor to watch over it and offer to return the favor.
Require Signature Delivery. Make sure your delivery is extra secure by requesting a signature upon delivery.
Explore Alternative Delivery Options. Many delivery services offer convenient pick-up spots or lockers. Check out your delivery service’s website for details and rest easy knowing your packages are safe until you’re ready for them.
Consider Delivery to Work. If you're expecting a delivery during the week, ask if it can be delivered to your workplace.
Hold Mail and Packages if You Plan to Be Away. Put a hold on your deliveries to keep them safe while you enjoy your getaway or summer holiday.
Be on the Lookout for Suspicious Activity. Keep an eye out for unfamiliar faces or vehicles in your neighborhood. If something feels off, don’t hesitate to call the Fairfax County Police Department non-emergency number (703691-2131).
Consider Installing a Security System. Package theft happens all year. A security system can be a great investment to keep your home and packages safe.
