Why don't just require a signature on delivery? If you're not home, retrieve it to the local post/courier office. Or use amazon lockers.

Why leave packages in the open when you're not home? How's that not hysterical?

Your position is that it is "hysterical" that people don't want to be deeply inconvenienced by petty theft. I cannot fathom such an outlook on life, so I won't address this point.

On the facts though, you again misunderstand. I'm frequently not home to sign for things. I live near the Silicon Valley, yet my post office is a six mile round trip. My UPS delivery office is a 40 mile round trip. Amazon lockers do not accept large packages.

I feel that at this point you are clutching for straws to justify your original position.
