When I say protected place it's protected from the weather... ther's a
big overhang so rain won't hit that corner. The sign is small, an
index card thumb tacked to the door, someone would need to drive
almost up to the door to read that sign, it's 300' from the road and
it's very rare to see anyone walking this road.... no one could see a
package from the roadway either. So far nothing was stolen... I don't
worry about it, anything gets stolen Amazon will send it again. I
usually have packages sent to my PO Box but occasionally its sent by a
third party that won't send to a PO Box, they need a house address,
why I've no idea.
