Black Friday will soon be upon us and while many of us will be on the lookout for online steals, we also need to be on the lookout for bad elves who actually want to steal. Jared Cotter has three porch pirate prevention plans for you.

1.  The Package Guard

The Package Guard is the size of a Frisbee and sits near your front door. This $69 smart device notifies you via text when your package arrives.

2.  In-Home Delivery

Both Walmart and Amazon are using smartlocks that have a onetime use code to let delivery drivers in.

3.  The Amazon Locker

There are more than 2,000 of these installed in 50 major cities. Just enter a special code amazon sends you when your item arrives.
