\t\t\t\tRecently, the DPD placed signage in Stapleton<\/a> on 26th Ave. in Eastbridge in an effort to curb thieves from stealing packages from Stapleton porches. The sign states, \u201cprevent package theft, track your packages, pick up package ASAP.\u201d This sign is a helpful reminder to Stapleton residents to make sure they don\u2019t leave packages unattended for too long. The sign also serves as a warning to thieves to make sure they get there right after the package is dropped off. \u201cI totally understand what they are doing,\u201d said resident Bobby Madison. \u201cBut to me, it seems pretty unnecessary. People are already doing the best they can to be vigilant and make sure they have neighbors grab packages or get them quickly themselves. It ends up feeling like a reminder to the criminals that there are packages to be had and to act fast on them.\u201d Lisa Christin agrees. \u201cResidents are starting to get wise to porch thieves,\u201d said Christin. \u201cI just don\u2019t like the sign because it continues to make our neighborhood look like a tacky hotbed of crime.\u201d\nFrom DPD\u2019s perspective, it helps add another presence for the police force. \u201cWe can\u2019t just have 10 troopers driving around Stapleton at all times,\u201d said police spokesperson Aaron McClelland. \u201cIt\u2019s the best way we can remind residents to be aware of what is going on, and make appropriate plans so people don\u2019t continue to fall victim to petty crime. Come on, people, work with us here.\u201d As usual, the DPD will evaluate the effectiveness of the signage after analyzing crime report data.]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
