Some enterprising thieves may have figured out how to get their hands on your hot holiday packages and all they need is their smartphones.
Here's how it works: A UPS driver leaves your package at your front porch. A short time later, a thief using a phone app arrives to pick up your package.
Authorities say the technology is allowing thieves to play the Grinch, timing their crimes perfectly.
A homeowner in Los Angeles recently captured surveillance video as someone backed up a U-Haul van into the driveway and snatch two boxes left only minutes before by UPS.
The thieves were captured a short time later.
UPS denies their technology is compromised, but says you should schedule deliveries for when you are home or have items shipped to your office.
