That is such a bummer. I think you are doing the right thing, (actually above and beyond) even though you fufilled your end of the bargain to the letter.
I always try to have my packages sent Fed Ex and held at closest location to me at this time of year.
I have had only one lost package (that they claimed to deliver when i wwas home no less) by Fed Ex and had a two month battle with Paypal and the ebay seller. I just wanted her to file a lost claim with Fed Ex but, she refused and basically said i was lying and had the item. Which I did not. Long story short near the end of the two month time she did file a lost claim with Fed Ex and received a check from them and refunded my money. I just got ticked off that she refused to do so in the first place. I tried to file the claim myself but Fed Ex said the shipper must file.
Sorry to hear it ended up that someone took the item out of the mailbox. If I was the recipient I would call the police and report the theft.
