I must be really lucky because I don't think I've ever had a package stolen.

I had a missing package recently, where the delivery confirmation said "package left by front door", and yet no package was there. A day later, after thinking the package was lost, I discovered it on the driveway beside the garage. It seems the delivery driver didn't want to walk all the way to the door and had just left it in the most conveniently reachable place close to the street. I guess I should have been suspicious when there was no picture of the delivered package like there usually is.

Do not discount the possibility that the delivery driver placed the package by the door, snapped a photo and took the package with him. There are youtube vids capturing that.

If they did that on my porch they would get in trouble ... because my camera would record the act.

In this day and age you need a camera to record what's happening at your front door.

I refuse the use of one carrier by default.
I live at the end of a private drive, and the house can't be seen from the road.

Their local carrier on two occasions was recorded on my door camera walking to the door with the package, placing it on the porch step, taking a photograph of the parcel, then, picking it up again and walking off.

I complained and was told that under interview he had claimed I had insulted his "protected characteristics" and he was "teaching me a lesson", he still has his delivery round with the company.

I've never spoken to the man but I'm now a girl with a grudge.

The parcels were replaced by the vendors after some hassle, again just some electronic components the second time, clothing the first.

Evri one a wiener
