We had a package dropped on our porch today (Sunday) at
about 1pm and someone came by and rifled through it and took one of the items.
They were probably annoyed by the boring contents, but took our baby wipes as a
sad consolation prize.
Did you get any other reports of package thefts happening at around the same time today?
My
thinking is that some of these mail thieves follow the UPS trucks, and maybe
the USPS trucks. This past Friday my Zappos orthopedic shoes purchase was
stolen within 1 hour of it being dropped on my basement apt steps on V St NW. I know this because the tracking read that it was
deposited 10:30, but by time I came home at 11:30 - nothing was
there. In January, a large box was stolen from California w sentimental things I
had gathered in Nepal. I normally try to make other arrangements for large or
expensive things to get delivered elsewhere. But it boggles my mind the kind of
stuff that you can't resell that gets stolen.
My
advice is to send packages to work or friends'- even the stuff you think
no one would want!!
