has anyone confirmed that Joe has reached 100?

Al - when Amazon UK had sent a package with UPS a while back, I was more than surprised to find a note inside where it said that they'd left the package with my neighbour.
Now, as my neighbour is a very kind old lady, this was not really a problem, but it left me wondering... if I have not authorised somebody to accept deliveries for me (and especially if the person in question is not situated in my apartment, that is the relevant address), how can the company hand over the package to said person? If the person refuses to hand over the package by saying, "no I did not receive anything", or opens it up and either damages the contents or steal parts thereof (or at least makes it nigh impossible to judge if the damage was done after or prior to delivery), will UPS accept responsibility and handle the situation? Or would they consider it delivered, although they'd failed to accomplish a proper delivery? Imagine if your neighbour is definitely not somebody whom your on friendly terms with... the result could get well out of hand fast.
