speak to the neighbors and the manager immediatly
Often ups will leave stuff like that with a front office, and the computer input still says at door
Otherwise call UPS and ask about insurance on the stuff since it was left in an unsecured area

That sucks, hope everything works out. I remember they left my sideskirts outside my door...lucky no one took them. Funny thing is that if someone took them don't think they would be able to use it on their car...unless it's a TL.

Oh and from here on out since you live in a apt complex you should have them deliver it to the nearest UPS store and pick it up there on your way home, or make sure that sig verification is to be put on the packages when you arent going to be around.

That has happened to me with DHL and UPS.. Both times i called immediatley, they sent the driver back out the next day and when i got home from work that day, it was there. Sometimes they screw up and put it on the wrong doorstep. Most people would just bring it in and not even look at the name until the next day and then put it back where it belongs

sometimes the driver is running late and enters items as done, when in fact its still on the truck--to close out the days paperwork on all the other boxes.
The night shift finds it and reloads onto next days trip
Lets all hope!!!

I live in a house- their favorite trick is to move the doormat over the box- then they ring and run!!

Here how you do this, call the company you bought the parts from and say you never got it. Without a signature on file you are NOT responsbile to follow up with UPS or do any leg work.
UPS insurance only covers the first $100 unless the company bought it from paid for more.
They should either, send you a replacement set with a signature request or refund you.
Give them a few days to work things out at their end with UPS, doing a trace to try and find the pacakge, 10 business days tops.
If after that period you do not have a replacement set, call your credit card and issue a charge back. I believe it falls under 'goods not received'. This will then issue you a refund on your card and place the responsiblity on the company you bought from to show proof of delivery.
Proof of delivery requires a signature, saying 'left at front door' means you'll get a full refund. You can then decided where you want to buy from after you get things sorted out. Credit card company gives the vendor 30 days to deal with this.

okay. next step. check your local craigslist and the surrounding cl areas to see if anyone posted up your shit. check ebay too. do a search for those parts and check the checkbox that says items within... 50 miles of me. if nothing, keep checking for the next month and a half because some dumbass whole stole it might be stupid enough to sell it back on cl.
here's my story. my girlfriend lives in an apartment complex. there's parking in front of her place so i used to park there pretty often. one day when i came out, i found my trunk popped open slightly, but i dunno how. my doors were locked and my keys usually arent in my pocket so it wouldnt make sense that i'd be the culprit that left it open. That week i did some spring cleaning back at home, and i dug out all my aftermarket parts from my prelude. Among them were 2 cold airs (one blue one grey), 1 short ram (dark blue), 1 DC strut bar (red). and the other stuff in my trunk like My RF Amp + a cheap Xplod Sub, my stock sub which i removed from the mounts, my bowling ball, my bowling shoes and my key lock for my oem lug nuts. All those things went missing. roughly 1000 dollars worth of stuff. I was HELLA FUCKING pissed. I figured, hey the fuckers who stole it must must have been college students because that area is swarming with college students. i checked every 2-3 days for those parts, and all of a sudden, a month and a half down the road, the bitches put my RED strut bar and my BLUE Cold air intake up for sale... in one picture. I've seen stupidity, but who the fuck is dumb enough to put two stolen parts for sale in one picture, especially when they're stolen! I called up about 8 of my friends, and had one of them with a private number give the guy a call. keep in mind, none of these guys live in my college town, but they live a hundred miles away so the bitches who stole my shit never saw them again. My friend called, and asked if he had any other parts and he said he's selling most of my stuff minus the bowling ball because who the hell would sell a bowling ball. we met up behind a pretty well lit restaurant around 1130, but it was a quiet place so everyone was gone. we had two guys waiting in their car like they were going to meet him up, and then when they rolled in with their cars, i called in the reinforcements. we surrounded him with 4 cars and him and his friends saw us come out with bats in our hands and needless to say they ran. we took his car to some random neighborhood, and took all my parts back, along with a bunch of parts that came from his car including his system, his intake from his car, his strut bar. My girlfriend moved out of there that same weekend because her lease was over. the funny thing is she lived right across from those bitches.
I didnt keep any of the parts we took from his car. i let my friends distribute it, and since he drove a gen 6 accord, some of my friends just took his intake and strut bar and put it on their cars.

not your fault, not UPS's, but to me it just seems kinda stupid to dump an entire brake kit on the front of your door.
check w/your management to see if there are any cameras pointed down your hallway

I dont like physical damage, shit like that cant be mended. I was tempted to slash their tires and do the whole deal since i had their car, but i didnt feel like being a bitch myself. I just wanted to give these lil 18-19 year old kids a scare. they should learn not take things that dont belong to them.

yeah, i know they are too, but if I were you, i'd just call the police and let them deal with it instead of sinking down to their level.

haha. a .357. i remember firing off one of those at the range. it was the only gun i was accurate in (weird huh). I have a savage 93R17 sitting on my closet shelf at my apartment. I used to take it to the shooting range alot when i was 19-20, before i was allowed to buy a handgun. Still thinking about investing in a handgun, but i haven't yet. dont wanna waste money on something i might just use for a year then put away.
