A survey showing the worst cities for package theft ranks Salt Lake City No. 3 overall, trailing only Denver and San Francisco. It's a return to the top 3 for Utah's capital city after dropping to fourth in 2020.

- 2021 - #3
- 2020 - #4
- 2019 - #2
- 2018 - #8
The Safewise survey showed that 210 million packages were stolen from U.S. porches during the previous 12 months, with 64% of Americans saying they had been the victim of package theft. Over half those surveyed claimed to have had multiple packages taken over the past year.
