    Stolen Packages

    I listened to a radio report this past Friday about how local law enforcement are setting up stings to catch those mofo's who steal packages delivered by fed ex/ups.

    Reports said the criminals sometimes just follow delivery trucks and nab the packages moments after delivery. So, what LEE have done is bait some of the criminals by planting packages with GPS transmitters hidden inside. Then they just followant the signal and make the arrest.

    I thought this was all well and good but then immediately thought... great job reporting it.... now the criminals know one trick and will make changes to their tactics.

    I think in this case, it was a mistake to report the details on how they apprehended.

    Just my 2c

    well unless the criminals decide to open every package they grab, they won't know which one they grabbed is GPS or not.

    if the police said they will randomly have undercover units follow the UPS/FedEX trucks this will serve as a deterrent since now the criminals won't know which trucks are being watched.

    Truthfully, we cancelled your order because of your lack of civility and your threats ... What is a problem is when you threaten my customer service team and make demands instead of being civil. Plain and simple just don't be an a**hole (where you told us to shove it).

      Most trucks are not having GPS packages nor have under cover following so the risk is low for the criminals.

        we've been doing that locally as well. Funny thing is I was thinking about building something using a raspberry pi to do this exact thing before I read about it.

              The point is the 'explosion' into the perps face.
