First of all, always ask for a transfer. It's worth waiting. Nobody steals transfers.
Secondly, if you're going to do a drop-transfer, you have to do it in a dusty, obscure hidey-hole. Luckily, Norrath is full of such places. There are a dozen unused buildings in almost every city, plenty of empty patches in outdoor zones with a recognizable tree, etc.
Thirdly, you have to pre-park the recipient character at the site of the drop-transfer.
Everyone makes mistakes like this. Don't let it demoralize you. The best thing to do in such cases is learn at least something from it. All the best.
