------------------------------ I, too, live in a place where it's not likely anything would be stolen. However, our UPS driver is happy to put parcels in specified locations, such as on a back porch, if asked (and there are no man-eating dogs or bears around ;-) Our driver volunteered to do that, but I told him to keep it simple. In this neighborhood kids sometimes leave bicycles sitting on the roadside (no sidewalks) overnight without a second thought. Like all personal services, the service one gets varies according to the individual providing it. Because I get packages very frequently, I've always found it beneficial to get to know the delivery people and the postal carrier and ask them what works best for them. A little consideration, even just asking when there's nothing that needs be done differently, makes a huge difference. It's right up there with a heartfelt "thank you" when we do meet face to face, or a friendly wave when the truck passes by on the road.
