Assholes are coming into my neighborhood and stealing any packages left unprotected by idiot mailpeople on porches and in front of people's doors.
The Post Office seriously has to change their policies about leaving packages that people spend hard earned money on, unprotected in front of their houses.
Zoobster.....
Do you work? If you have a work address, have it delivered THERE, and INDICATE you want to SIGN for your package!
A few years ago, I ordered a driveshaft through an online website, and had it delivered to a former friend's business, and had to sign for it.

Well...here's ANOTHER suggestion.... specify that YOU will pick up your packages AT THE POST OFFICE! I hope you, and everyone else, will forgive my language, but DON'T EVER LET THESE MOTHERFUCKERS WIN!

I'm so lucky that my workplace is open 24/7 and they allow employees to have their stuff mailed there. Old folks' homes pay very little, but I do get anything sent there that's too big for the letterbox. Before I was able to do this I too used to get the dreaded card on the doormat. But at least I was then able to pick it up from the local sorting office, or have it re-posted on a different day when I know I'm in.
In this age of Amazon and the like though, it is possible to have things left behind a rubbish/garbage bin etc. There have even been cases of things being left IN the bin, with the less pleasant possibilities that offers. I'd hate to think my Complete LotR sets being left ANYWHERE outside my house!
So yes my heart also goes out to you Zooba. Nothing worse than spending good money for this sort of thing to happen. The worst thing I can get now, when they see the address, is all those senders thinking what a cool 90+ old guy I must be to be in the home and still be 'with it' enough to listen to film scores and watch Blu-rays!

My family has very recently encountered such a situation. My mom ordered a metal flag for my grandfather's birthday (it even had his name engraved) and had it shipped to his home. It was supposed to come a few days after his birthday, but it never arrived and I fear it may have met the same fate as Zooba's packages.

If you know your neighbor, you can leave a note for the postman indicating to leave it with your neighbor, and your cellphone/work number for verification.
And as another member indicated, you can ask to pick your packages up at the Post Office.
I was a postman once and a couple times I found hand-written notes from people asking me to do things; one was to hold the mail for a week while they were on vacation. I did so. Doesn't mean your postman will be as nice, but it's worth leaving a note asking to hold the packages and have them delivered on a day you are there, when there is mail delivery (like Saturday, for example).

It happened again FSM friends. Twice now since August 4th. A second package, this time from ebay is reported by Post Office Tracking as Delivered IN/OR AT MAILBOX at my address and I once again did not get it. I will be going to the Post Office first thing in the morning to speak to a supervisor. Last time I had to wait 1/2 hour till one came out. I will ask him or her if I can meet the freeken Monkey who is delivering mail to my house. Sadly this time I have no Wonderful Company like LA LA LAND RECORDS to cover the ass of this stupid mailman or thief if the mailman once again left the package out for anyone to take.
Stay tuned. I may be on the News tomorrow.
Lord, what have I done in my life to deserve this?
I need a freeken drink.
Just get your packages delivered to your job.
