Parcel theft is becoming increasingly common as more people shop online, with new data showing more than £370 million worth of parcels were stolen from doorsteps across the UK in the last year.

The technology company Quadient found that more than three million homes had at least one parcel stolen in the past 12 months.

The average value of stolen goods increased by 52% - rising from £66.50 in 2023 to £102 this year.

However, only one in 333 thefts are reported to the police.

So what should you do if you think your parcel is stolen?

Most I bet are stolen by those delivering them.  It doesn't help with the poor pay the delivery folk get and the time given for a huge amount of deliveries.  Leaving them on doorstep etc.  They should be handed over to the buyer or taken back unless specific instructions given.  Just leaving them on the doorstep for all to see is crazy.
