I always get my packages but I was thinking, what if I decide to falsley state I didn't recieve my package....that someone removed it from my door step......What then? Will anybody catch me? Is this mail fraud or something majorly illegal?

Not mail fraud, because you aren't using USPS.
But it is stealing, and you can and probably will get arrested and charged.

UPS isn't responsible for packages once they're delivered.
It's never worth it to make up lies, and live in deception. People will begin to distrust you and trust is difficult thing to restore.
Who would you report it to? UPS doesn't care. Would you call the police? If so, you'd be guilty of making a false police report. What would you gain by doing that? Nothing.
If you're concerned about your packages, get a PO Box.

Of course what you suggest is illegal. It is considered fraud.
If you are seriously worried about packages left unattended, then rent one of those postal boxes (not from the Post Office though because UPS, Fedex, and other carriers not part of the USPS will not deliver to Post Office boxes.)
I have used one of those postal services for 15 years and absolutely love it. Your packages and letters are kept inside securely. You can ship via any carrier from the office. They even will notify me when a shipment I am expecting arrives.

UPS keeps a written record of what they drop off- where. If you "say" you didn't get something when you DID- they'll just STOP delivering to your house & start leaving your ebay stuff at the Post Office for you. Is THAT what you want? -The CHOICE is yours. :)
