Idk if it applies in this specific case, but usually when my package is delivered there is a photo from the carrier. Would that not be evidence?

  That lack of such a photo isn't evidence. The presence of such a photo is also not evidence that the package was actually delivered -- there are numerous cases of the delivery people putting the package down, taking the photo, then immediately stealing it. So, if I were the police, I wouldn't really put much stock in those photos at all. Surveillance camera footage, however, is a different story.

    > The presence of such a photo is also not evidence that the package was actually delivered It is evidence. It is not irrefutable proof, but then evidence usually isn’t.

      True. I should have said it's "weak evidence".

    I don't know why a photo wouldn't be evidence. The delivery person stealing doesn't make it not theft.

      What I meant was that the delivery person taking a picture of the package sitting on your doorstep is weak evidence that the package was properly delivered, because delivery people have been known to steal the package immediately after they take the "proof of delivery" photo.
