I would advise Sports Direct that the parcel has now been located and tell Yodel about the fraud. If he was that desperate to leave the parcel he could have left with a neighbour.

The guy done wrong but these guys work long hours for a pittance...

THE COURIERS ON 50P A PARCEL WHO EVEN BUY
THEIR OWN FUEL

Couriers
for Yodel are paid as little as 50p per delivery and must deliver up to 160
parcels a day, it is claimed.

Yodel, voted the worst parcel service in the UK, delivers for firms from Amazon and Waterstones to Boots and Argos.

But
complaints have stacked up in the wake of Black Friday and Cyber
Monday.

There are
claims of items left in bushes, in bins or with unknown neighbours, and of
deliveries at night. Now stories have emerged of drivers paid just a few pence
per parcel. On an online forum where staff rate employers, a man in Nottingham
said he was offered the equivalent of 50p a parcel. He said: ‘How they expect
you to earn even a half decent wage is beyond me.’

He worked
out that by delivering one parcel every six to eight minutes, he would earn
£2.50 an hour after deducting petrol, which seasonal couriers must buy. Job ads
for seasonal drivers say they work ‘at some pace’, warning: ‘It’s no mean
feat.’

A
Scottish driver, who spent seven years at Yodel until 2012, said: ‘December is
always the worst time. Some workers were out until 10pm. The workers had a
target . . . it ranged from 110-160 parcels a day. You couldn’t bring back more
than 2 per cent. Guys were coming back with 20 to 30 parcels saying they
couldn’t do it. A lot of the workers were off with stress.’

Customers
were just as unhappy. Twitter user ‘Yodelhell’ said: ‘All we want is our
packages delivered intact. Is it too much to ask?’ Rachel Webber said her order
showed she missed a delivery at 1am. She said: ‘I am going to assume I was
asleep.’

Yodel
said deliveries should be no later than 9pm. A spokesman said many workers had
a regular salary but some were self-employed and paid per
delivery.

He put it in a poorly chosen safe place, probably thinking he was doing a favour.

Indeed I agree, it is possible his intentions were good but the safe thing is to deliver to a neighbour then put a card through your door. He has signed the card himself though which is fraud however you look at it, almost sneaky to ensure he is covered if any comeback which when happened, tried to say someone at the address had signed it. So if he is displaying this kind of behaviour I believe he should be reported.
