Your holiday gifts are on the stoop…and now they’re gone. Stolen, just like your Halloween costumes, groceries, and laundry detergent. Package theft is rampant in Philly, so host Trenae Nuri is joined by executive producer Matt Katz and producer Abby Fritz to discuss both the horror stories and the ways to keep your boxes away from porch pirates.
