Package thefts are a problem not just during the holiday season. We rely on items being delivered to our homes more and more, so porch pirates can strike at any time. That's why this TikTok (below) of a UPS driver has gone viral.

The driver walked up a driveway to deliver a large package. After placing it in front of the house, he concealed it with trashcans so that it couldn't be seen from the street. He not only delivered the package, but hid it from potential thieves!

This guy is not just a delivery driver. He's a defender against porch pirates. The caption on the video suggests he deserves a raise. I can't argue with that.
