Package twerps?

Has anyone else seen groups of kids stealing packages during the day? A package of mine disappeared last week (the third since Christmas!), and I got an extraordinary call from DHL that made me wonder if this is an epidemic around here. The woman who called said that her delivery guy passed by my house (on Holland Street) again 10 minutes after delivering my package, noticed that it was gone, and spotted a group of "kids" hanging around nearby. Apparently the DHL guy "knows people" in the Somerville police dept., who somehow knew who to talk to, and they actually found the little twits and got my package back! I'm thrilled to have it recovered, but I can't expect to get that lucky every time, and I'm pissed that apparently deliveries aren't safe around here. I read someone's post about missing packages from the Teele Square area, and I'm wondering if the culprits are the same...

On a side note, I'm moving this summer (hopefully to a place out of the range of the mail thieves!) and I'd love any suggestions of who to contact for nice, modern apartments in the Davis area. I love the look of some of the loft complexes around the T and Minuteman trail, but I'm having a hard time finding info about the cost of renting!

If at all possible have them shipped to your office/workplace or to that of a friend.
