This happens to me quite a lot too, in fact the saturday before last I was awaiting the doorbell to ring for a parcel but never did. Sly buggers dropped the red note through the outer slide door. The problem was that I didn't find it until nearly 3pm by which time the collection office was long closed, wasted my morning and early afternoon awaiting that parcel. I was furious and gave the guy behind the window an earful on Monday.
On an episode of a Scottish comedy show called "Chewin' the Fat", the incident you described happens, where the postie gets "caught" putting the red slip through the door but doesn't have the parcel. Hilarity ensues !
