Protects packages from theft before you get them, making it a federal crime.
The Porch Pirates Act of 2025 would make stealing packages a federal crime, even if they've already been delivered to your porch or a pickup spot. This extends federal protection to packages from the moment they arrive, not just while they are being shipped.
Today, federal law protects packages mainly while they are in transit. After a private or commercial carrier delivers a package to your home or a pickup spot, its theft is typically handled as a local crime. If this bill becomes law, stealing a package delivered by a private or commercial carrier, but not yet physically picked up by the recipient, would become a federal offense. This would extend federal protections to packages sitting on your porch or at a collection point.
