  I always thought that if a package was delivered to you, that you had to
sign for it?  So if you mailorder something and then it is delivered by UPS
and they just leave it while you are not home and then it is stolen from
your front door, what do you do?   I have found packages delivered by UPS
when I was not home in the most unseemingly places in my yard, that I did
not discover for probably days later after it was "hidden".  Do they have
the right to just leave or hide packages and run without also leaving a note
as they used to do?  They used to have a neighbor sign for it and leave it
with them.  How legal is any of this?
  At least the US postal people leave a card so I have to go pick it up at
the post office which is no problem.
