This is prime time for package thieves, but there is hope and help for people who go online to protect whats on their porches.
Crooks know more people get packages in December more than any other month.
Video: More packages stolen fresh off the delivery truck
I found out that I was one of three on the same day that lost a package, said Carla Wingfield of Council Bluffs.
Someone trolled the neighborhood and stole boxes from front porches.
The poor thief that took mine, I hope hes really happy with the dog food and biscuits that he got, Wingfield said.
Police said they knew of at least six thefts. The latest was on Wednesday night.
We are trying to head this off before it gets into a worse state, said Sgt. Dave Dawson of the Council Bluffs Police Department.
Wingfield and her neighbors went to nextdoor.com to help stop criminals before they commit crimes. The online neighborhood bulletin board allows people to post messages and warn their neighbors.
This has kind of brought us all together without having any face-to-face contact, Wingfield said.

Two Cleveland men are accused of stealing several packages off porches in Westlake.
A Stonehedge Drive resident called police at about 12:05 p.m. Wednesday to report seeing the passenger of a black Cadillac steal a parcel off a neighbors porch, according to Westlake police Capt. Guy Turner.
Westlake and North Olmsted police responded, and a North Olmsted officer stopped the vehicle on Walter Road.
The driver, Hermon Toney, 28, and passenger, Jamir Johnson, 22, both of Cleveland, were arrested by Westlake Police, and several packages that had been stolen from two homes on Stonehedge drive were recovered, Turner said.
The Cadillac belongs to Johnsons mother.
Toney and Johnson were each charged with two counts of theft, three counts of possessing criminal tools and carrying various weapons for a stun gun.
Johnson also was charged with illegal conveyance, two counts of criminal trespass, illegal possession/abuse of food stamps, and possession of marijuana, and he has an active warrant from the Cuyahoga County Sheriffs Office.
Toney has previously been convicted of robbery with a gun specification, attempted burglary and probation violation.

WESTLAKE, LA (KPLC) - Sasol recently bought First Baptist Church of Westlake and its surrounding lot to begin construction of a transit route as part of the company's multibillion-dollar ethane cracker project.
"Properties on the south side of Sulphur Avenue and properties along the north side of Old Spanish Trail are properties we've been negotiating with over the past couple of years," said Sasol public affairs manager Mike Hayes.
The church property will be used as part of the project's heavy haul route, which will be used to transport large modules and other equipment from a construction dock to Sasol's project site.
"We've already started moving power lines, working with Entergy through Triad Electric and some other contractors to get the power lines out of the way," said Hayes. "Widening the road will be the next step. Building the dock and the dock facilities is underway."
Rev. Wayne McEntire of First Baptist Church of Westlake says the offer couldn't have come at a better time.
"The church acquired property on the golf course here in Westlake, over 19 acres, so relocation plans have already been in the works," said McEntire. "This gave us a buyer and the resources needed to make that move."
McEntire says Westlake Assembly of God is also negotiating with Sasol and has to share a facility with Westlake Church of God on Maddox St. until ready to move. He says they hold services at different times.
Hayes says the heavy haul route construction shouldn't be an inconvenience to citizens. He says the first step is relocating both underground and above ground utilities. Signs, fencing and other itemsthat are located in the route that modules will pass through will also be relocated. Width and weight capacity of roads will also be increased and new traffic signals will be installed at the Sampson St. and Sulphur Ave. intersection.
Hayes recommends citizens to log on to Sasol's website and sign up or text alerts to stay up to date on construction alerts and other news.

First Baptist Church of Cutchogue hopes to finish work on its new building in 2015. (Credit: Cyndi Murray)
While many religious groups across the U.S. and the North Fork are faced with declining membership, forcing some to shut their doors altogether, the First Baptist Church of Cutchogue is delighted to have the opposite of that problem.
After nearly a century in its historic church building located on a small parcel of land on Sound Avenue, the congregation is reigniting plans to move into a new, larger building.
The church had previously ran out of money to finish the new buildings construction.
Pastor Cornelius Fulford said Thursday that 2015 will mark the year work is completed on the new church. Construction had begun in April 2001.
The 9,600-square foot church building is located on a four-acre parcel thats about one mile west from the current church. It is needed to better accommodate its church attendees, as well as other community organizations looking to use the space for meetings, the pastor said.
In 2015, we are going to work hard to get into this church, he said. God let us know it might take a little time, but we complete the vision that God gave us.
Founded in 1924, the First Baptist Church of Cutchogue is one of the oldest black sanctuaries on eastern Long Island. Initially, services were held in the little schoolhouse on Oregon Road until membership outgrew the building. The congregation then constructed its current location in November 1928.
Today, the church has more than 100 members and it needs to be moved again, Rev. Fulford said.
Since purchasing the property, the church has been raising funds for construction. Over the years, the church has ran out of money to continue building.

Latin American church leaders apologized for historical complicity with colonial atrocities in the Amazon and called for a church with an "Amazonian face" in a pastoral letter issued as negotiators from around the world met for a climate summit here.
"The exploitation of the Amazon through mining, the expansion of farming and ranching, road construction, hydroelectric dams and timber companies demand that the church take a more prophetic stance," they wrote.
The letter marks the public launch of a pan-Amazonian network meant to connect pastoral workers throughout the nine-country watershed. The Latin American bishops' council (CELAM), the Brazilian bishops, the region's Caritas humanitarian network and the regional conference of religious are leading the effort.
The letter reflects concern about the Amazon and its people that was expressed by the region's bishops at a conference in Aparecida, Brazil, in 2007 and was echoed by Pope Francis on his visit to that country in July 2013.
"We are concerned that 23 percent of the Amazon region is deforested, and that figure is growing," Peruvian Archbishop Pedro Barreto Jimeno, president of CELAM's justice and solidarity department, told Catholic News Service.
As the region's countries turn to mining, oil and gas production and logging to drive their growing economies, the church is speaking out against "a vision that puts profit first," Barreto said. "It is not only unjust, it is an offense against God."
The church leaders issued their letter as thousands of negotiators from 195 countries gathered here for a U.N. climate summit to hammer out details of a new international agreement to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases that cause global warming.
In Amazonian countries, deforestation is the major source of greenhouse gas emissions. About half of the region's forests are in protected areas or indigenous territories, but studies show that even those areas face threats.
Indigenous leaders attending the summit repeatedly called for stronger legal rights to their territories, to help protect them, and called attention to the murder of indigenous people who were defending their land.
