Subject to location service accuracy, which as we know, is ±1m... in movies, ±10m in reality... except more often it's ±50m or worse, because who knows why.
This can happen. A delivery person comes to a door, presses the button in their app, and nothing happens. So it's immediately obvious that they are at a wrong location.
And they know that they can't just leave the package there, they have to find the correct door. And there's a flow in the Amazon delivery app to mark an incorrect geolocation, so they won't be penalized for taking longer time.
The app also has pictures of the location in question, to minimize the confusion.
From the homeowner's side, the garage door will be open for half a minute or so with nobody nearby. It's possible for a burglar to use this time to quickly run inside. But the probability of that is pretty low, and there'll be a camera recording of that.

Except that's not true at all. Amazon had my new house geolocated wrong (think robin instead of arden st in their system, even though I put the address in correct and it read back correct).
First delivery came, "delivered", not at my door... Contact CS, get a refund, continue.
"Ok, I'll setup key so they know it's wrong and deliver it in my garage."
Pieced together from video:
Second delivery arrives at wrong location, garage door opens...and was never closed. "delivered"
Took me contacting CS 5 times, with 5 failed deliveries, and doing an email bomb to get them to update my geo-location. Turned out it was literally across the fucking city, ~8 miles away.
Not at all. Since the app is linked to a system that opens your specific garage door, it will be obvious because they push the button and the door in front of them does not open.
My point is Amazon is blaming customers for fraud when it's the fault of a delivery mistake such as dropping the package at the wrong address. Or the drivers themselves stealing the packages.
It doesn't work like this. Delivery workers use an app that opens the door, so if they are at a wrong location, it will be immediately apparent.
