An Immodest Proposal

According to the news media, Canadians are increasingly fed up with porch-bandits stealing the parcels that are a concomitant of this pandemic year. I believe I have come up with a solution to the problem.

First, collect any fruit cakes you have got hanging about your house. As we all know, Christmas cakes are often baked but seldom eaten.

Second, wrap the cake(s) in aluminum foil.

Third, place the wrapped cake(s) in any cardboard box available. Ideally, use a box with an Amazon label.

Fourth, place the box onto your porch. Leave it there for human nature to take its course. It would serve the $^@#*^^%$ right.
