I currently work as a postman in a rather rural area, and this isn't that unusual as those I work with have worked here for ages and know almost everybody on their route. So signing for a package and leaving it somewhere safe have been done to save the recipient an extra trip to get the package at the pick-up-point, some extra service in other words. Of course, they knew exactly who they can do this for, and who they couldn't do this for.
I have only done so when the recipient have said I can do so, and taken full responsibility if something happens to the package. And even then I've been cautious. This is now strictly forbidden anyway, so now nobody is doing it where I work.
But yeah, your postman is taking a very big risk. And I would not be pleased about it myself, not at all.

I would just like to say that my postman is an absolute gem. I have a lock box on the back side of my house on the deck. I leave the lock unlocked and when I get a package he puts in the box and locks the lock. HE then leaves the notice in the mail box for me. It also works in reverse. When I have an out going package I put a note in the mail box and he picks up the package. Needless to say he's on everyone of my holiday lists and on his b-day always gets a Dunkin Donuts Gift Card. Now if I could only train the others who take his place when he's not around.

TheBlueDude, that sounds like a great idea. Wish we could do that. It would sure be handy, but we already have trouble with mail going to the wrong address, and mail for others coming to us. So now we have to get parcels at the post office if we miss the mail man.
Where we used to live they have what is called, "Super" mailboxes. They are group boxes similar to the PO boxes, only outside in the neighbourhoods set up every few blocks. Each group has 2 large boxes as well. If you get a package, the mailman puts the key to one of the large boxes into your own box, then you can unlock the big box, get your package and then drop that key back into the mail slot for outgoing mail.
Only problem with the super boxes is walking to the mail in the rain or snow. It was great when we moved and the mailman came to us.

Once a month i receive a package from the APS sales division with an average retail value of four thousand dollars. The postal carrier is supposed to ring the door bell and have me sign a receipt for the box..sometimes they do and sometimes they just leave it laying against my door. The odds are no one is going to come along and grab it..but if they do..i did not sign for it !
