I never thought it happened, but it does! Postman rant. Gah.

Had exactly the same, noticed the post had arrived only to find a card saying they'd tried to deliver something about earlier on and I definitely hadn't heard a knock.
Same thing happened to my sister to, she was actually about 3 meters from the door when they apparently "rang" the doorbell.

By the number of people who turned up at the post office to collect their undelivered items, it's fairly common.
