Village Sun, if we want your paper delivered we will order it. Otherwise please keep it off our driveway. Thanks in advance.

Might as well put up a sign that says "welcome home invaders".
I agree that it can be a problem however. Driving through various neighborhoods it is not uncommon to see a driveway with several issues of the Daily Sun lying in the driveway, along with the other various and sundry reading material, usually advertising, flung there by various people and organizations.
Our neighbor (snowbird) across the street has a good system. He has friends who not only pick up the printed stuff while he is gone but who also collect the signs put out there by his yard service, check the house and grounds periodically to assure all is well, etc. One neighbor also parks his SUV in the neighbor's driveway and leaves it there for a couple of days each week. The color of the vehicle changes from time to time so I assume this involves several friends.
