If you've had a package 📦 stolen, you're not alone.
Theft from porches and doorways is becoming an increasingly common problem across the U.S. 😨
According to a recent survey by the Illinois-based packing solutions company, Shorr Packaging Corp., nearly one in four adults in the United States report that they have had a package stolen.
If you suspect this has happened to you:
✳️ Check your bushes, garage, or other places where drivers may have left them.
✳️ Check with neighbors to verify that it wasn't delivered to the wrong address.
✳️ View home security footage if you have it.
✳️ Ask the seller of your item about their policy on stolen packages.
✳️ Contact your credit card company. Many offer purchase protection.
To prevent theft:
✳️ Accept deliveries in person.
✳️ Send packages to an alternative location such as an Amazon locker.
✳️ Use a video doorbell to alert you when a package is delivered.
✳️ If the item that you've ordered is expensive, insure it through the retailer.
If you have questions about how your homeowners or renters policy can help a situation like this, let's talk.

🍫Why is chocolate toxic to dogs?
It contains theobromine and caffeine.
Both of which can speed up the heart rate of a dog's nervous system.

Over the years, you may have heard the term “10 and 2 driving”. 🚙
This is regarding the position in which you should hold your hands on the steering wheel.
This is typically described in terms of how your hands' placement relates to the numbers on a clock. ⏰
But, the technique for proper hand placement on the steering wheel has changed over the years.
NHTSA now recommends the placement known as “9 and 3”.
The 10 and 2 o’clock position is no longer recommended because it can be dangerous in vehicles with smaller steering wheels equipped with airbags.
Your world can change in an instant. Make sure your family is protected from life’s uncertainties with Allstate life insurance. Give me a call today.
Here's a common question.❓
"If someone hits my vehicle while it is parked, what can I do to protect myself?" 🚗
Hopefully, the person responsible left a note. Or there are security cameras 🎥 or witnesses 👀 of the incident.
But if you can't locate the person who caused the damage, it's your auto policy's collision coverage, which will likely cover the loss.
A deductible would apply here.
And, collision coverage is optional, so if you chose not to buy it, you would have to pay for repairs out of pocket.
Uninsured motorist property damage coverage could also pay for damage caused by hit-and-run drivers in states where this type of coverage is available.
If your insurer locates the responsible party for the damage and recovers some or all of the repair costs, you may get a refund of your collision deductible.
Side note: Only 12 percent of all reported hit-and-runs (2016 statistics) were solved, so ensuring you have the coverage to protect yourself makes sense.
🐶 Sure, dogs are considered by many as man's best friend, but that doesn't necessarily include the mailman.📫
In one incident, when a dog bit the mailman, causing an injury...👮
It was a renters insurance policy that paid out for his medical bills.
It's sometimes easy for people to think that they don't have enough "stuff" to justify carrying a renters policy.
Yet, it can protect you from more than you might realize.
Did you know that life insurance can cover things beyond final expenses? I like to think of it as a financial safety net that can provide income, inheritance and more.
