hehe, I have the same problem. Normal sized mailbox, out on the sidewalk. My front door isn't that far away,
but a couple of steps.
There are some shrubs on the sides and behind the mailbox, and for some reason, any packages get
"tucked" behind the mailbox, under the bushes. It's a beautiful, damp, wet place, perfect for delicate and
fragile packages, exposed to the weather and cold.
