I do think one of the pitfalls of having a Private Insurance carrier, especially with very high value packages, is that the carriers themselves have no idea they are handling a high value package, so the chain of custody could end up being much more lax.

I'm sure if the driver who mis-delivered/pilfered/left out in the open, whatever...knew he was handling a 40K package, there's no way he would have forged a signature and been as careless as he was with that package.

When I was at UPS (and I'm going by memory, so the numbers might be slightly off), anything that was declared over 2K was handled and packed on the truck separate from everything else and was adult signature required whether it was requested by the shipper or not...and anything over 5K was handled and shipped in completely different shipping containers and with a chain of custody far different then the rest of the normal shipments.
