My son got a Moto X for his birthday in September, so I am using his old Samsung Eternity II feature phone right now. At least I can make calls and do some texting. It is very odd, I have not been without a smartphone for several years. Feels like a part of me is missing. :-(
My Nexus 5 was stolen by UPS

nice. at least you have a backup to use! good luck with getting the new Nexus 5. you will appreciate it that much more when you get it!
seems the sender would require signatures... I have to sign when I order thru Verizon and its Fed Ex
I'm sorry OP, that must be a horrid feeling!

Do not borrow the Moto X...you may not want the Nexus 5 after using the Moto X...lol! I am using my Nexus 5 now but really missing touchless control and active notifications...but I committed to 2 weeks with the Nexus 5 as my daily driver.
re signatures - a couple of years ago my brother and I both ordered tablets from the same site. We live in the same country, different zip codes but nice areas about 6 miles apart. UPS just dropped his off no questions asked and mine was sig required. And it was marked that way when I was tracking online, so it's not that the driver chose to require it
Yeah, the Moto X is really a nice phone, my son loves it. Only thing stopping me from getting the Moto X is that I really want Kit Kat and the ability to get future Android updates as soon as they are released.

The Moto X is getting kitkat though, I'm pretty sure. And probably future updates.

In that case the vendor chose your's to be signature required. But, as you pointed out, your brother's wasn't so, which is up to the driver whether he wants to leave it or not.

It's probably just cheaper to insure the devices to pay for signature confirmation for every device. I'm sure Google's business account covers losses so the extra money for signature is probably not worth it when compared to the number that actually need a claim filed.

That really sucks man. When I had my iPhone 4s delivered to me release day some low-life from FedEx stole it. I got a replacement, but I was left without a phone for 2 weeks while Apple scrambled to get a new one out to me. For the time being, I would pick up a really cheap phone to use. I have an old backup Motorola phone somewhere just in case my phone decides to die. Did the shipping information show the weight of the package at different UPS facilities? That should have tipped somebody off immediately with the weight difference.

Sorry to hear about that. I'm always afraid of having to deal with that situation, even if the vendor is totally cool in making me whole.
Do you think it was the delivery driver, some anonymous person in UPS along the way, or a (as you said) general UPS modus operandi to not punish and therfore encourage this behavior among their employees? And what part of the world do you live in? If I live near there I'll consider asking shippers not to use UPS.

I feel your pain now. My Nexus 5 too, has been taken by some USPS a$$hat. It was scanned out of one depot and was never scanned in anywhere! USPS now says that they have no way of finding my package until someone scans it in *like thats about to happen*. Looks like there is a easy way for people to get free good in our US Postal system......its insured but i want my phone

And USPS is terrible with real time knowing of where a package is. May I ask how long ago was it last scanned? If it was a long time then I'd be concerned but a day or 2 maybe not because they are pretty bad with the real time updates. For instance, I shipped a few packages a few weeks ago and got frequent scans and when it was out for delivery. Another package however had 2 scanes.... one for acceptance and the second for delivered. No "processed as sort facility" scan. Of course I got worried because I didn't see an update for like 2 days but it worked find. But again, I really dislike their customer service.
