Hey Salem, Do You Worry About Your Packages?

With a recent package theft making headlines in Salem, we have to ask: do you worry about the safety of your packages?

The story of Bill Bushong's stolen birdcage and the video surveillance he captured of a woman stealing a package from his front porch was featured on a handful of local news stations last night and has captured the attention of city residents and many of our readers. So, we have to ask: do you regularly have packages delivered to or picked up from your front doorstep in Salem? Do you ever worry that the items you order won't be there when you get home? Do incidents like the recent theft on Mason Street have you mulling over the installation of surveillance equipment of your own? How can similar thefts be prevented in the future? Let us know in the comments section below.
