Abstract
This invention is new because it's the first device of its kind designed to be used to prevent packages from being stolen after delivery to a consumer's house. Other methods like locking boxes or special locks either already exist, or are being developed but this device is the first locking bag for that purpose that is held securely by an extended strap that closes under a door, or secures to a physical object.
