Stolen Packages

Long time reader, first time commenter.

I was wondering if anyone else has had any packages stolen off of their porches recently.  On Monday, I had 2 packages delivered (by UPS and DHL) around 1pm and by the time I got home at 5:30p, both were gone.  It seems that they were left right out in the open (I live on a busy cut-through street right outside of Davis, heading towards Powder House Square) so anything on the porch is visible.  Has anyone had any luck in getting UPS to deliver to the back?  I know people have mentioned before that they have locked boxes on the porch, but sometimes I get larger boxes so not sure this is an option.  UPS used to come at 5pm and he would hide the packages if we were not home so this hasn't been a problem as much in the past.

Got swiped too

First time in 8 years living outside Davis that my package is nowhere to be found. I'm reporting it to FedEx tomorrow. What's been the response of carriers out there? Will they reimburse? Will amazon.com?

The retailers have all been good about resending the packages (as long as its in stock, which most of mine wasn't). For my understanding, the retailers are reimbursed by the carriers.
