[QUOTE="Magnus, post: 791045, member: 22193"] Totally understand that and I truly do my best to pick and choose the optimum location to drop the package at on the intended for property (I put myself in the customer's shoes, that "IF this were my package, where would I want it dropped?" etc., but sometimes there simply just are not any adequate places to hide them at - no cover of any kind. If there is a door mat, I will toss it over - that's better than nothing. The Driver tells me to just drop these kinds of stops anyway... I don't particularly like to given the risks, but we really don't have the time to knock on neighbor's doors, get them to sign off and then track back to the intended recipient's house to leave the "left at" notice. Really wish we could but the SPORH and time allotment on our stuff is just horrendous. With all of that said, we haven't had but ONE theft this Peak so far - and it WASN'T even at one of those kind of drops just covered, either - had lots of cover and everything. What happened was the guy had decided to follow us to our next stop off of the major intersection we'd just gone through (didn't realize that right away)... he pulled up behind us as we made the stop and as I was running back to the P10 after making the drop, he said out loud to me in passing "oh, for me?!" as he was walking past me to retrieve it... I thought it highly suspect, told my Driver and we drove off for the next drop. He assumed as I did the guy actually did live there and just happened to, on coincidence, get home at that precise moment. So we let it go and finished that section of the route, but we decided to double back and just make sure. We found the car, the guy and the package - GONE. It happens, couldn't have done anything about it and I certainly wasn't about to tackle the guy to the ground, for several good reasons given the circumstances lol. But anyway... :biting: [/QUOTE]
