That Major Sucks! I've been to your neighborhood, and I'd expect any package out on the steps of a row house to be gone fast. Dropping a package off and leaving is completely unacceptable.
Signed for by "XXX"? Is that a non-signature, or did some passer-by just say he was you -- sign and abscond? UPS should ask to see ID if the driver didn't see the signer come out of the delivery address.
At our house (in the semi-burbs) delivery trucks do leave things on the front porch without a signature. I'm not comfortable with that, but so far it's been OK here. (And it does sometimes mean we get the items sooner.) We're on a busy corner, but there's not much foot traffic (and people wouldn't bother to get out of a car), and small packages aren't visible on the porch because of the elevation.
