An original way to get rid of an old TV in the US

In some US cities where package theft from porches is rampant, people use a funny household trick. If a resident has a box from a brand-new television, they don't rush to throw it away. Instead, they put their old, broken, or non-working television in the box, tape it shut, and place it on the porch.

After a while, a "caring" stranger appears and takes the box away.
