As Americans' online purchases ramp up to new records, authorities say that the arrest of two teens in Macomb Township for stealing packages from doorsteps is the tip of a growing criminal iceberg.

The brazen pair were caught by police shortly after one was caught on a resident's camera phone, dashing from a porch cradling a big Macy's box.

The teens had cruised through a subdivision right in the path of a United Parcel Service delivery truck, stealing from one house after another, Macomb County Sheriff Anthony Wickersham said.

These are the places where I wish the customer had a box to put the packages in. Some of these homes just have no good place to hide them from the street. Personally, I wouldn't have even bothered with the mat in this case.
