_However,_ this product seems like a great opportunity for a small hack: install the whole thing as a locker/bench/cabinet on your front porch. Almost all of the convenience, and no increase in risk. In fact, I'm a touch surprised that this isn't how the product was conceived and launched in the first place: as a personal package locker.

First, I'm not sure I believe your numbers to begin with. Is there a source?
Second, a huge issue is racism in law and police policies (not necessarily in individual cops) - crime statistics need to be taken with a grain of salt. The numbers reflect what the police and courts do, not what people do- they're related of course, but there's a bias.
As (unfortunately) a user of a number of prescription medications, I have encountered adverse effects that were considered uncommon, yet heard about similar issues from fellow users. Of course, this is anecdata, so one can draw no conclusions, but I have a nagging suspicion that enough digging by people who truly understand statistics will find flaws, perhaps major ones.
Not likely to happen, though.
