UPS left an Amazon box on my front step today, which has never been a problem in my quiet, secluded cul-de-sac. Until today.
When my son got home from school he brought the box in and noticed it had been sliced open at the top. There was only one item in the box, as expected (a new laptop carrying case). In other words, the contents were intact.
My speculation: since today is the release date for the PS4, a thief (or thieves) is following UPS trucks to see where boxes are left out in the open (or just cruising around looking for boxes on doorsteps), then checking the boxes for PS4s they can steal. Scary, if true.
