I never knew they did that! They just leave it by our front door. We haven't had any go missing yet.

Just on the front porch

@HLK208: That's crazy! I could understand if you lived like, on a super busy street in a not so good area. Maybe he plays a game with himself to see if he can hide things creatively?! Who knows, it sounds wacky to me!

They've never hidden anything. They leave it on the front steps.

I wonder if he's had problems with things getting stolen before so now doesn't take any chances? Or, maybe it's a fun challenge to him on an otherwise boring day?

I've lived in apartment buildings my whole adult life, so if they can get into the building, they will just leave things in the lobby and I've never had a problem. If they can't get in, it's annoying because they will just leave the delivery attempt sticker on the door and eventually you might have to go to the UPS facility to pick up. My UB vista was left in the middle of our front lobby in plain view from the street, though, behind the locked door. I pulled it over behind the stairs until DH could carry it up the stairs.

@Foodnerd81: In my last building, a delivery person once ignored a sign saying to leave packages in the lobby across the street and left my (tiny) package on a busy city sidewalk! It's a good thing I was going out to walk my dog a lot or it would have been gone before I got there.

@spaniellove: Actually, that reminds me, in my last apartment, we have a separate entrance to our apartment from the sidewalk, down a few stairs so not totally visibile, but not quite hidden, and a couple of times they left things at the bottom of the stairs, on a city sidewalk. Never had a problem with things getting taken, but I did think that was odd. It was cheaper easily replaced things usually at least.

I usually get things delivered to work to avoid all this.

Yes, half the time they will leave it with our neighbours... the rest of the time they shove it underneath some bushes next to our front door!

haha so odd! ours just get left on the front porch.
