Designing to prevent Porch pirates

Hello everyone,

Is anyone doing anything about porch pirates at their rentals.

I have a duplex with an enclosed porch with a screen door and mailboxes on the inside so it remains unlocked. Im assuming this makes it safer from porch pirates, but prevents it from being secure bike storage.

The screen door is getting old and I’m thinking I’ll replace it with a full lite door with deadbolt and move the mailboxes outside, but I’d love to have it both ways secure, but accessible for packages.

Any thoughts either way or recommendations?

-Justin
