I have a PO Box and that solves the problem.

When the government employees refuse to do the job they are payed to do , then the citizens will have to take up the slack. This is why gun sales are "thru the roof". It's going to get worse when the administration starts cutting back on the "handouts" to those that refuse to work. Citizens will not be able to depend on law enforcement, because they are already overloaded, having to deal with all of the dopeheads, drunks, gang punks, prostitutes, pedophiles, and other human debris. Citizens will have to pay attention to their surroundings, and deal with the thugs harshly when the need arises.

SAPD or Neighborhoodss do a sting and bust these guys on video..put them on the news

You know, it just torques my jaws when people say truly stupid things like " the rural community suffers from theft because so many packages are left in boxes at the side of the road while homeowners are away." The rural community suffers from theft because of THIEVES who reach into their mail boxes and take stuff that isn't theirs. It is against the law to even open a US Postal box that doesn't belong to you, which is why, in rural areas, you'll sometimes see a rolled up flyer stuck to the outside of a mailbox. Are their things like PO Boxes people can use to be a bit more secure? Yeah, but the FAULT is with the thieves. Where are the Postal Inspectors, who are supposed to investigate, arrest and prosecute postal theft? Folks in the area need to be armed while they watch out for each other and SHOOT those dad-blasted scumbag thieves.
