What problem is that solving for the homeowner?

I get hundreds of packages per year (not an exaggeration) and as far as I know, exactly zero have ever been stolen. Missing packages are invariably delivered to someplace else that must have had a better vibe for the driver that day. (I’ll get pics of proof of delivery with a package that is clearly not at my house.)

In that environment, what problem do I have that could be solved by this, and how much effort (and aesthetics) am I willing to spend to solve it?

Now, if my house shared a wall with two other houses and people walked by my front door all the time, maybe I’d have a theft problem due to greater opportunities for it to happen.

Places with lawns probably don’t have nearly as much package theft just due to less foot traffic.
