 Ah yes! A couple months ago we were expecting a package from a friend of
 ours. Didn't know exactly when it would come. One afternoon after coming
 back from shopping, my wife asked me to get something from the patio deck.
 I go out to the deck and lo and behold, here is a package delivered from
 UPS. What bothers me is the deck is on the side of the house but right
 up at the front of it. There is nothing stopping someone from walking
 up and sticking there hand through the posts and grabbing it. The other
 thing is that if I hadn't gone out there to get whatever it was for my
 wife, I may have not gone out there for several days. What if it had rained?
 And no note on my door telling me it was there!

 There must be a better way!!
