It could also be the case that the postperson knows how inconvenienced a customer might be by having to go to their local collection / sorting office in the event that they weren't there to sign. Alternatively, what if the postperson saw that they were tax documents and having considered the deadline - together with the fact that there is industrial action going on, used his / her initiative to ensure that your neighbour was not further inconvenienced / fined?
Bottom line - if you arrive home and it's there do you throw a hissy fit at not having been asked for your autograph or do you recognise initiative when you see it?
