I'd say about 95% of stuff I get that requires a signature is properly delivered, usually something watch, audio or alcohol related. In fact the last four or five deliveries made by FedEx the driver had me sign and then verbally give my last name before handing over the package. Maybe they have had issues of people signing for goods that weren't the intended individual. Overall, though, the signing system seems to work. But there are always exceptions to the rule. Fortunately, where I live there is absolutely no theft going on and my front door can't be seen from my cul-de-sac, but folks living on busier streets run a lot more risk. Call up, or email, UPS and complain, perhaps they will address the situation to their drivers.
They left what was a clearly designated signature required package on my doorstep. Thank goodness I was home. Expensive camera body and lens. Doorbell rang, guy was climbing back into truck when I answered.
Just another example of why you cannot trust them.
It seems like this would be red-flagged automatically by their systems after the fact, unless the driver scrawls a signature. It would be interesting to pull up the tracking info and see if a signature is entered.
Please track through the UPS website. It will tell you if a signature is required. UPS charges extra for a signature. A lot of shippers put a signature required sticker on packages in an attempt to avoid fees. The signature required is encoded into the barcode and does not require a “signature required” sticker

I just got a watch last week in a trade situation via overnight FedEx and on the label it said "Priority Overnight ASR"......ASR means Adult Signature Required. Inside the box was a return label that I used to return the trade in watch and it also had the ASR code. When I printed out the tracking information for my files they did indicate that an Adult Signature was required. So the shipper had paid for the service, I suppose other people would try to save on fees but it would seem a small price to pay if you are shipping a $6,000 or more watch, and wouldn't their insurance coverage require an adult signature? I would think so.
Nope ... even the app said signature required.
Then let UPS know.
Or track it, sometimes UPS will have neighbor sign and the neighbor will leave it.
