Never a dull day in the 'burbs. Update on community intrigue.
Last week I wrote about a trespassing issue that I had with a neighbor. It turns out that wasn't the only strange thing that occurred on that day (or possibly the day after - though I'm pretty sure the exact moment things went awry.)
Okay, let's talk about Amazon Sunday deliveries. Bluntly put, if they put a package in your mailbox, instead of delivering to your door, you have a package that will probably be vulnerable until Monday. That's when you are more likely to check the box out of habit, unless you have an urgent reason to remember that the Sunday delivery was part of the service when you ordered. It didn't matter to me, so it was not something I was expecting.
With that background: a rather casual delivery was made on Sunday the 29th. By casual, I mean it didn't arrive by usual postal truck. Man in casual clothes drove his private car to deliver it. I checked with Amazon afterward and they confirmed that this did, indeed, get sent to the local postal station. Whatever the case, I have a clear picture of the person delivering the package.
The package may have been protruding from the box, which may have been the source of the problem. I know we talk a lot about mailbox theft as a guaranteed Federal offense, but, let's get real. Around here you might as well assume that's another convention that just doesn't stick, or it wouldn't have happened.
Opportunities would have been plentiful. Sunday night there was a very strange older man walking up and down the street. He was talking to himself, hand gesturing in the kind of way that draws attention. But he wasn't the only one who walked past the mailbox that day. And, as far as I could tell, he never returned back to his street holding anything more than he had before he left. The point is, if there was a package protruding from that mailbox, anyone could have seen it.
I checked the cams, and to the best of my ability, i did spot one solitary soul who hesitated at that mailbox on the way out. There was shrubbery coverage so you can't actual see the heist, but, he was the only one who stopped and hesitated, before moving on.
I have already sent the info to the post office. Hand-delivered the letter. Does anyone know what happens next? Does it go into a dead letter file or do they actually investigate?
