NORWALK, Conn. --  'Tis the season ... for porch pirates.

The Norwalk Police Department urges Fairfield County resident to protect their packages with the following tips:

• Have your package delivered to your workplace.
• Require a signature for delivery.
• Schedule the delivery when someone will be home.
• Ask a trusted neighbor or friend to pick it up.
