🎁 With deliveries stacking up across Shelby County this time of year, “porch pirate” thefts tend to rise. The District Attorney’s Office wants residents to know how these cases are prosecuted — and how you can reduce your risk.

How Tennessee Charges Package Theft:
Criminal charges depend mainly on the value of what was taken:
• Up to $1,000: Class A misdemeanor
• $1,000–$2,500: Class E felony (also applies to fi****ms under $2,500)
• $2,500–$10,000: Class D felony
• $10,000–$60,000: Class C felony
• $60,000–$250,000: Class B felony
• $250,000+ : Class A felony

These classifications guide how our office prosecutes cases when suspects are identified.

If a Package Doesn't Arrive:
Before reporting it stolen, double-check delivery alerts, look around your property, and ask neighbors if they picked it up for you. If it's still missing, report it to the retailer or shipper — and file a police report. Police reports help track suspects and support prosecution.

Ways to Reduce Package Theft:
• Try to be home for deliveries or ask someone you trust to secure them
• Use a doorbell or security camera for alerts and evidence
• Consider having items sent to a pickup location or PO box
• Opt for signature-required deliveries
• Leave specific delivery instructions for a more secure drop-off
• Turn on text or app notifications for package tracking

A few simple steps can go a long way in preventing holiday theft — and help us hold offenders accountable.
