Great conversation, thanks everyone. On our big ticket items we do typically insure but I may start sending Signature Required. And Yes USPS did say "not there problem" on this one. Hoping it was just a bad incident and not something that happens again anytime soon.
2nd mirror is on the way, USPS as it was still way less expensive but with Sig required.

This has been an interesting discussion! I have on more than one occasion had Fed Ex and UPS declare that they delivered something when, in fact, they had not. This occurred on days I was home, and had been in the front part of the house working, and would have heard the truck. One showed up a couple of hours after I canned the carrier. One was re-sent my the merchant - no issues. There is definitely an issue in my neighborhood with package theft. On more than one occasion, cars have been observed following the delivery trucks. Yuck!

Based on what it says on that page, they won't necessarily have jurisdiction to lead on an investigation, but they might be able to assist.
It's guaranteed that they do nothing if they don't know about it.
