The stolen package contained medication critical to the victim\u2019s care.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Fargo police say there are several steps residents can take to protect sensitive deliveries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cAnytime a resident of Fargo receives a sensitive delivery or high value delivery, requiring a signature prior to that package being left is always a good practice to follow,\u201d said Lt. Nick Kjonaas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Kjonaas said residents can also ask a trusted neighbor to retrieve packages when they arrive.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cOne of the first things they can consider is talking to a neighbor. When that package is delivered, ask the neighbor to go over there and get it,\u201d he said. \u201cThey can also send alerts to their phones so they\u2019re aware when the package arrives and communicate with somebody.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Police also recommend installing a doorbell camera or secure lock box.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Anyone who recognizes the suspect can call Fargo police at 701-241-5777.<\/p>\n<p>Copyright 2026 KVLY.
