Over here they're not allowed to leave it unattended, unless the house owner specified on the website it's allowed to leave it a certain point outside the house. Otherwise it's just free loot for anyone to take. It's only covered by insurance if it gets stolen from within your house. But only if your house is locked, otherwise the insurance company isn't scared to do some victim blaming. So it's crazy to just leave stuff out in the open.

But to be fair, delivery people are often treated like shit. So I kinda get it why they would prefer to avoid contact. A friend of mine does grocery deliveries, the stories I hear from her of how people treat her. Fucking insane. Maybe if we start to treat others with respect like we would like to be treated ourselves... But goes both ways. When you leave drinks just outside an outside opening door, I kinda get it why people get mad at you.

Its the same with my cats. Constantly complaining I'm nog giving them enough food. When I'm giving them food, they complain it's not fast enough. When they're done eating, it's complaining they didn't get enough again so they start to throw my stuff from tables and desks. They treat me like shit but expect perfect service (they are in their puberty, they are driving me insane but I love them very much).
