One suggestion..... I have rented a mailbox at the UPS Store (previously Mailboxes Etc.) in now 3 different cities that I have lived. Sure I have to pay for it but it provides a lot of peace of mind. I had my Netflix membership suspended a few years back, when those red envelopes started disappearing, and then my wife had a special Irish crafted figurine that we purchased in Galway WITH clear instructions that signature was required for delivery left on the front steps. It was a gift for her Mom that was pretty irreplaceable. One thing to be careful with is that some of the mailbox operations are sort of fly by night so use a reputable one, or a local that you have a good degree of trust in. The UPS Store signs for my packages, sends me an email upon arrival and secures them until I pick them up. All the best...
