How to get Fedex, UPS, and others to not just leave package at door?

Can you get Fedex, UPS and other delivery drivers not to just leave packages at the door? The kids on the block are teenagers now and turned into rotten punks. The parents are conviced that they are perfect angels, talking to the parents won't help. I don't think a note at the door will help because I've seen them toss a package halfway through the yard to the porch. Besides I don't think they would that the time to read it.

1. when you buy something online and they give you a tracking number you go to ups.com and enter it in then you will see a section that says "notes" or something in that you can type instructions for the driver to read. or you could just do it the low tech way by leaving a note with big writing that says UPS MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE LEAVE PACKAGE IN GARAGE this also works for me. UPDATE* i forgot to tell you you can also do a delivery intercept if you live near a ups hub. you go to ups.com and enter your tracking number then choose delivery intercept and they will hold it for you at the nearest hub. that might be an option if you dont live to far away. or if you cant do that then i would say have it delivered to a friends house that you trust.
2. Have the parcel shipped to someone else's house (a close friend or parents home) instead where deliveries are less likely to get stolen.
