Delivery service quality has gone down for years now, here in Germany

A few times a delivery guy stole my packages (>1000€) and most of the time it gets simply placed in the hallway without further notice...

Insurance covers this, but it's aggravating non the less :\

I used to be a delivery driver in rural England, and one day it was a Harry Potter book release date and we were told explicitly not to leave on the door step if they weren't in. I'm not sure who sent these instructions whether it was the company sending the items, or our company delivering, but it's funny to see perceived value imposed on this occasion.
