A concerned Houston homeowner contacted our agency after experiencing multiple thefts of delivered packages, including Amazon deliveries, mail packages, and shipped merchandise from his front porch and mailbox area.

With escalating package theft incidents affecting the entire neighborhood, the homeowner required professional theft investigation services to identify the perpetrator and gather evidence for criminal prosecution.
