From MPD:
“PACKAGE THEFTS
During the upcoming holiday season, please be mindful of any package deliveries made to your home. Please note some of the package prevention tips that I have included below.
A CRIME OF OPPORTUNITY
Package thefts are crimes of opportunity. The Metropolitan Police Department would like to remind citizens to take extra care this time of year when having mail and packages delivered to their residence. Package thefts from doorstops and front porches during the day usually increase between the months of November and January. There are steps you can take to be proactive in keeping your package safe from theft.
PACKAGE THEFT PREVENTION TIPS
Encourage family and neighbors to pick up packages as soon as possible as after they are delivered.
Track your packages. Try to be present at the time of delivery. Many mail carriers allow you to track your shipment online:
FedEx: http://www.fedex.com/ca_english/track/
UPS: http://www.ups.com/WebTracking/track?loc=en_US&WT.svl=PriNav
USPS: https://tools.usps.com/go/TrackConfirmAction!input.action
DHL: http://www.dhl.com/en/express/tracking.html
Be neighborly. If you can’t pick up your mail ask a neighbor to do it for you. The U.S. Postal Service can also hold your mail if you travel during the holidays.”

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
