Brick and Stucco patterned delivery boxes

To combat porch pirates

Delivery boxes should be printed with 4 patterns, one per side.

Dark brick, light brick, dark stucco, light stucco.

All the driver would have to do is turn the box with the closest match facing out, making it harder to see at a glance.

They could also ring the doorbell and/or hide the package, but we know that isn't going to happen.

       [bliss], your box is on its way by express courier. Make sure that you press firmly on the lid until the catches click, once the cat is inside.
