Methodology  

In May 2024, we surveyed 3,000 Americans asking a number of questions regarding package theft. The age range was between 18-65 with all participants residing in the United States. Over half — 56% — were female, 42% were male, 1% identified as trans or non-binary, and 1% listed “other”.

I doubt a site called casino.org is pulling for a truly random sample. Their methodology disclaimer is lacking critical details. Their questions were likely slanted to increase the desired outcome.

"Porch piracy"? Huge opportunity missed to call it porch poaching.

82% of what... Packages delivered??? Cmon meow

Yeah none of those percentages seem to make any sense.

It's in the image... % of citizens regularly facing package theft. Though that's still pretty vague. How regularly is regularly? Seems incredibly high still.

The article literally says "at least once" -- this rates are clearly nonsense and anyone who cannot see that should question their ability to detect bullshit.
