I've never had stuff left in the bin, but ParcelFarce went through a phase a few years ago of leaving parcels by the front door, moderately hidden behind a planter but still not very secure, and then (badly) forging my signature on the recorded delivery card.
On one occasion I phoned up the local depot and said "according to the tracking website it's been delivered and I've signed for it, which is news to me because I've been out at work all morning. So either the delivery chap isn't entirely playing by the rules, or somebody has pretended to be me, signed for the parcel and has absconded with it - could you find out which one it is and get back to me please?"
Happily it was the former, but if it had been stolen then presumably I'd have found it difficult to claim a refund or compensation because the recorded delivery paperwork had an apparently valid signature on it.
