Package stolen off of the porch...

Really sucks... I think both UPS and Fedex have a deal where you can schedule when things will be dropped off, and if you can't be home around the time it'll be dropped, you can pick it up at the ups/fedex distribution center. *EDIT* didn't notice the OP said this was USPS... yeah, no help there. Post office really doesn't seem to give a crap.

Over the holidays, I spotted a car that seemed to be following around the UPS guy. They'd drive up right after the truck, sit there for a while, and eventually drive away. Next day, I saw the Ups truck, then a minute later there was the car. I called the jeffco sheriff department with a car make/model/plate number, but never saw any response.

You have the shipper do a signature required, delivery. This eliminates the stolen package problem.

ups store box costs $144/year they sign for it and hold it in the back until I pick it up in person.

I see tons of signature required packages left at doors weekly (sometimes the correct door). usually a lazy worker, fedex, dhl, ups, usps have all done it.

I can get you one of those orange disposable construction coveralls if you need it. Also wear a good respirator so you won't breath in the fine fiber particles.
But wait until the weather cools down, attics are way too hot to be in this time of year.

That would be awesome, yeah it is waaayyy too hot. the blown in insulation is fiberglass too itchy

Leave a box that looks like it was just delivered on your porch. Fill said box with feces. Problem solved.

Theft of US Mail is a federal felony, regardless of value. Contact the postmaster at your local post office. If they won't initiate an investigation, contact the Postal Inspection Service, and the FBI.

I once had a Rolex watch shipped back to my house after some repair work. Obviously got a required signature and the insurance for the 6k watch. Got the "delivery confirmation" around 9:00 in the morning and figured that UPS tried to deliver it but I wasn't home so obviously they wouldn't leave it. WRONG. Came home at 6 and it had been sitting on the porch all day long...right on the doormat.

I have a Bush in front of my door and SOMETIMES, they hide the package behind the Bush.

The day I was in the attic it was no shit 130 degrees up there. I started getting flashbacks of swapping out commo gear in HMMWV's in the sandbox, so I had to get out of there. Found where I have to drill to get the wires up the chase, but after that I just have to figure out where I can get a camera to the eaves.

Level 4 MOPP gear ought to do it...

Ohh plenty of times I have taken off my gas mask and sweat poured out. Thank you, I don't miss that.
