Requiring a signature upon delivery, providing an alternative secure delivery address such as an office location, or working with UPS and Fedex delivery men to tuck packages away in alternate drop-off spots at your residence can limit problems. One PBA neighbor makes a common sense tip for writing notes to your delivery men. Use notepad paper the color of your front door when making special package requests so your message is not easily visible from the street.   ------------- Coverage and protection from the Peachtree Battle Alliance Security Patrol is available to all PBA membership subscribers! Don't forget to renew or submit your membership check to receive a new mailbox sticker for 2010.
