Hey Marblehead, Do You Worry About Your Packages?

With a recent package theft making headlines in neighboring Salem, we have to ask: do you worry about the safety of your packages?

The story of Bill Bushong's stolen birdcage and the video surveillance he captured of a woman stealing a package from his front porch in Salem was recently featured on a handful of local news stations.

Here in Marblehead, our police log has featured several reports of packages reported missing during the holiday season. 

So, we have to ask: do you regularly have packages delivered to or picked up from your front doorstep in Marblehead? Do you ever worry that the items you order won't be there when you get home?
