PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- According to market research company Forrester Research, Americans will spend a record $86 billion on online gift purchases this holiday season, 13 percent more than last year. More packages means greater opportunity for package theft, a problem for which physician-turned-entrepreneur Jody Pettit created a solution.

The Landport is a U.S. made lockbox designed to prevent package theft. Made of 16-gauge steel, The Landport is a strong, stylish and spacious outdoor lockbox designed for homeowners, apartment-dwellers, and businesses to securely leave and receive packages. Tamper- and weather-proof, The Landport can be bolted on to any porch, stoop or entryway and is opened using a unique access code. The Landport is available in two sizes, three styles and a variety of colors.

After having a family antique stolen off her porch some years ago, Pettit decided to come up with a solution. "At Landport, we're big believers that practical, simple acts of deterrence are the best prevention against theft. Our boxes are easy to use, nice to look at, but most importantly, effective against crimes of opportunity."

The Landport lockbox line start at $499 and each comes with a 10-year warranty. For purchase information, go to: http://www.thelandport.com/shop/
