UPS and FedEx leave it on my door steps all the time. I only had a package stolen once. As I was leaving for work one morning, I noticed my neighbors had some contractors fixing and cleaning up a flooded basement. I was thinking, "Boy, I hope the UPS/FedEx guy doesn't just leave the package in front of them". At work, I logged into their website where it said that the package was delivered that afternoon but when I got home there was nothing there. I'm positive it was those contractors -- I hope they choke on those memory sticks.

i hate thieves.

My neighborhood is a dead end and I have lots of older neighbors that watch things like hawks so no real worries. I do however have most things delivered to work.

Since I live in crime-ridden Oakland, I have stuff left at my door all the time with no problems.

(Since I know multiple people who are scared to drive to my house, I enjoy poking at the Oaktown stereotype.)

I am NOT ok with it unless I specifically say it's ok in the "special delivery instructions" section. I've had UPS guys leave $250-400 computer components on my front doorstep when rain was imminent (yes, I know the boxes are sealed .. more or less), and I am NOT ok with that.

Same here.

Someone actually broke into our community drying machines and stole the change out of them. Last fall they ripped an LCD TV off of the wall in the exercise room. We've also had a few reported muggings in the complex. I wouldn't put it past them to steal any boxes lying around the complex.
