I live in Chicago and deal with package theft at least once a year; this thought of dummy packages is not realistic and I&#x27;d never participate.<p>A more realistic solution: Package drop boxes.  They can be either key or one-way door to help deter theft, and provide an added benefit of protecting a package against the elements.<p>Obviously, all packages weren&#x27;t sized equal, but if you&#x27;re having things delivered regularly, you can determine the type of cubic storage you&#x27;d need for a drop box to cover the majority of your deliveries.
