I have to have a talk with each postman when they make a personnel change due to there habit of tieing your goodies to the mail box in a plastic bag. Here in the San Antonio area, if it's left unatended in the front of your house or business, it's considered fair game whether they have a car that it fits or not. I've had something stolen with each new postman. I don't know why they think that that's acceptable. All they have to do is follow proceedure and leave a notice card and I'll go to the post office & get it. At leasty all of my Fed Ex and UPS shippments make it. Most of those items have to be signed for or they shipper is liable for loss. The USPS has different rules. It's considered delivered if the postman says so. If it gets stolen they take no resposibility for it unless there was a requirement for it to be signed for. You have to pay extra for tracking and response with the USPS. It's SOP with UPS & Fed Ex.
