I haven't had any problems with theft, but, if a package were stolen from my porch, I would expect it to be their responsibility, even if they emailed me a photo of a "delivered" package. Am I wrong?

Delivery Information

"If no one is at the address when delivery is attempted, we will leave the package in a secure location. If no secure location is available, or the delivery requires someone to be present, Amazon will send an e-mail to the e-mail address on file. We'll make three delivery attempts on consecutive days. If the third delivery attempt is unsuccessful your package will be returned to Amazon for a refund.

You may find that the tracking will sometimes show that a package has been delivered, but you haven't received it. In these instances, check to see if the package was left with a receptionist or neighbor. Deliveries can occur between 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. local time. To avoid disturbing you, our drivers will knock on the door, ring the doorbell, or directly contact you for delivery only between the hours of 8:00 am - 8:00 pm local time, unless your delivery is scheduled or requires a signature. For scheduled and signature deliveries, our drivers will place a call to the phone number you provided for your order, but will not attempt to deliver the package outside the time frame of 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. unless they are able to reach you. You can visit Find a Missing Package That Shows As Delivered for more information. If you checked these places, and you still can't locate your package, please contact us and we'll be happy to look into it for you."

Every house in The Villages is secure enough that any delivery could be left on a front porch without fear of it being stolen. I don’t worry about that at all.

I frequently get notices on my phone when a delivery is coming or has been made. What is annoying is when I get a message that a package has been delivered, and I look outside and see nothing! Turns out it has been delivered to the post office for delivery, maybe, after the weekend. It goes to my village mailbox, which is a two mile walk (there and back). I don’t think I should be told it was delivered unless it is at my door. Or I should be told it was delivered to the post office for delivery and will show up in my mailbox by and by. That would be okay.
