Not saying it cannot work but always thought it is sketchy hanging out by a house potentially for the whole day which is either unoccupied or is up for sale.

I think it depends on the level of risk involved with what you're tryna pull.

1) Only need a drop to bypass stores blacklisting your address? That's chill.
If you live in a dense city, use this to your advantage.
Pick some random building 100 feet from where you live.
Wait for driver's call, make up some excuse & rush to meet him.

2) Need a drop for some harder shit, like what OP was thinking about?
Probably worth waiting couple hours far away from your house...

In the past it could have worked better but now with ring doorbell cameras, increased cctv, neighbours it is too risky imo.

Fair point. Wiser to stick to methods that wouldnt call for someone bothering to check CCTV in the first place.

Drops are mostly used for AR's and most homes where i live have nor secuirity. Wearing a mask is fine nowadays aswell.
