It is becoming a bigger and bigger problem every year here.  Part of the 
problem is that the delivery services by default are supposed to require 
a signature (you can waive it, but you have to take action to do that), 
but most of the drivers ignore the requirement and will just leave the 
package anyways.

I've had computer equipment delivered that way, even though I 
specifically said "signature required".

Someone in the neighborhood had a laptop delivered to the wrong address 
(the apartment below them), and the person opened it and used it, then 
realized it wasn't theirs, packed it back up, resealed the box, and took 
it up to them.

Except that it had a user set up for them, and they forgot to re-pack the 
power cable.

The person it was supposed to go to works in the medical industry (and in 
IT to boot), so rather than trust that the machine was not compromised, 
they returned it and got it replaced.
