With the holiday's approaching. Authorities are warning consumers to re-think about the way they have items delivered to their houses.

A new trend in theft has begun. On-line shopping is more popular than ever before. The convenience of placing your order, and having it delivered to your door is more popular than ever before.

Yahoo is reporting that thief's have found a way to use a phone app that attempts to locate packages without a tracking number, so if they are stolen, there is no way to trace the package. This means, if you ship something, the address, name and more vital information is able to be found.

According to the experts, you should schedule deliveries for when you're at home, or have packages sent to your office. Sign up for text alerts, they add, or set up security cameras. These are just a couple of ways to be more secure with your packages, and keeping your home safe.
