@UPS So I just reintroduced the #PorchPirates Act in the 118th Congress with 21 bipartisan original cosponsors. It applies the same federal penalties currently in place for the theft of USPS mail to the theft of commercial packages from private carriers such as Amazon, FedEx, and UPS.

@UPS Porch Pirates pillage millions of packages every year, and if delivered by private carriers, we have little recourse. It's an increasingly dangerous crime as more Americans, especially our seniors, rely on delivery services for vital necessities such as medicine and groceries!
