The video shows a hacker dressed as an Amazon driver. Here are some ways to keep your packages safe.

NAUGATUCK, Connecticut — Residents of a Connecticut neighborhood barely noticed when a man dressed as an Amazon driver pulled up in front of a home last week.

However, instead of delivering a package to the Naugatuck home, he grabbed one and quickly fled the scene.

“He looks like a delivery guy so no one would question him,” one person commented while watching the video.

The police were still looking for him.

An Amazon spokesperson told CBS News New York: “Unfortunately, there are bad actors using clothing that mimics theirs to commit piracy on their porches.”

Ways to prevent package theft

September to December is traditionally the busiest time of year for package deliveries and porch piratesincluding those that are fairly well concealed.

It turns out you can buy everything you need to look like an Amazon worker online on sites like eBay.

“It’s an organized thing, it’s a well thought out thing,” said Lt. PJ Trujillo of the Mamaroneck, New York, Police Department.

Having a security camera is often a deterrent to package thieves, but not always, Trujillo says, because porch pirates are smart and bold.

“I would recommend people send (packages) maybe to their work or maybe a signature is required before delivery,” Trujillo said.

Another option for Amazon customers is to use Amazon Locker. Your package will be delivered to the storage location of your choice and stored securely.

Amazon then sends you a secret code to open the locker.
