I'm self employed working at home with computer vision and controls.

One time a customer sent me a $15000 camera for testing. I wasn't at home, so the UPS driver left it on my porch. Not a problem  as I live in a rural area on a dead end road and my porch isn't at all visible from the somewhat distant road. UPS could have dropped off an unwrapped bar of gold with no problem.

However, the next day someone at a UPS office saw that a $15K delivery had been left on a porch and had a cow. Actually she had a whole herd of cows. 

The first I knew about the "problem" was a phone call asking if I got my previous day's delivery OK. I said yes, no problem.

A day later my UPS driver stopped by and said he didn't have a delivery. Just a piece of paper to sign saying that I had indeed received the package. I explained to him what had happened and we had a chuckle about it. It was obvious to both of us that there was little risk at my location.

And before someone tries to track me down, I've never had any deliveries of gold (wrapped or unwrapped) in any quantity.

(Mine would use continuous CN+dye tear gas spray instead of pulsed fart spray).

Just need to add another common item to the glitter area, itching powder. Or cinnamon or white pepper, all commonly available items. Can put on the package label "contents, spices" to cover the contents.

It has never occurred to me to try, but couldn't someone register a phone, trash service or other utility at any random place they want? Find a vacant house somewhere, order garbage service, get a bill in the mail, there you go.

Accessing a mail box for a location that you don't legally own or occupy is a Federal Offense at least here in the USA.
Remember that infamous mob bosses were finally convicted on relatively minor offenses like mail or tax fraud.
