The only time UPS ever leaves a package for me is if someone signs for  it.
"Someone"  may  be  one  of my neighbors, a junkie sleeping on the lawn, or
even a stray dog, as near as I can tell, but they won't leave it without  a
signature on their sheet.  If no one's there to sign they leave a note.

My neighbors frequently left packages on my doorstep for  anyone  to  take.
I've  since  asked  them  not to and they now hang on to them for me.  I've
always found UPS cooperative about changing the delivery address if I can't
be home and no one else is likely to be there.  I usually have them send it
to my office.
