Seems to me that if you need one of these and can afford one of these then you have the means to move somewhere where these are not needed.
?
If you can afford to spend $200 to keep your arriving packages safe, you should be able to spend potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars to move some safer?
Yeesh, that package box sure does call a lot of attention to itself. I'd prefer something that blends into my porch and doesn't scream "there's something valuable inside here!"
My very obvious point is that if you "need" this item you might want to reconsider where you live as you probably have more to worry about than the "safety" of your packages. Furthermore if you have the disposable income for this rather limited toy its my guess you could afford a better neighborhood. Not possible for everyone I acknowledge and YMMV but I'll stick by my "odd take".
Yeah, $200 one time to protect packages, or several hundred more a month in additional rent/mortgage. My neighborhood is pretty darn safe, but isn't immune from the occasional package going missing. To move somewhere "safer" would probably require a gated community with a security guard. Your idea that those who want this should just move – you realize how expensive that is, right? – is ridiculous.
