Packaging Left by the Curb
In many neighborhoods, trash and recycling is collected curbside. If you have packaging from an expensive item such as a television or laptop, don’t just set the empty box by the curb. That’s practically a yard sign announcing that you have an expensive new item in the home.
Luckily, the solution is usually fairly simple. Use a utility knife to cut the packaging into smaller pieces and stack it in a way that doesn’t display what it once held.
