In the past two months:
Left a $500 pennant sitting on a mailbox cluster in the wrong neighborhood. Luckily an honest resident found it and delivered it to me later that night.
A very rare Cowboys pennant just disappeared and never made it to me.
Left two packages in our parcel bin with the bin door not just unlocked but wide open.
Folded a pennant that was shipped flat to make it fit in my mailbox permanently damaging it.
Left an extremely rare pennant at the wrong house (but at least one in my neighborhood)
Routinely updates tracking with fake reasons why packages couldn't be delivered. Such as this one from Tuesday.

Your issues appear to be due to a very poor/inept/lazy mail carrier on your route. I rented a PO Box many years ago and have every package that comes by USPS sent to that addy. There are Parcel Lockers at my Post Office where they put larger packages and leave a key in my PO Box. Yes, it means trips to the Post Office to pick up, and occasionally (not often) having to wait in line to pick up packages that don't fit in the PO Box or the lockers, but the security of the packages and peace of mind are well worth the hassle to me. If ever there was a case for somebody spending a little extra to avoid the headaches you describe, it is you.
