why do people take things that don't belong to them?


so here's a weird story. jeffrey ordered a package that ups said they delivered, but we never got it. so he had the company mail him another one, and again ups said they delivered it, but we never got it either. so jeffrey knocked on our neighbor's door, just to check to see if they might have picked up the packages on accident. how it would be an accident i don't know because the packages both have his name on the front.

anyway, about a 1/2 hour later both packages were sitting on our door step, one of them opened, but all the contents were inside. so yeah, you can draw your own conclusion but it seems pretty obvious to me. at least we got them back. lame though.

really though, it makes me sad. sad that we can't trust everyone. sad that everything has to have a lock on it. sad that someone would decide that your possessions are now theirs. still, i thought this was a story worth sharing.

oh and if you ever mail us a package, please give us the heads up to we can keep an eye out for it.

yeah, and even if your stuff if locked up, and your neighbor is home, your bike might still get stolen. sorry about that. it still really bothers me.

Ether 14:1. Sad that the world has come to this... again. the ultimate example of this kind of 'lameness' is the locks on the lockers @ the temple. DUH! Love you!

Hey, did you ever get that package I sent you? You know--the one full of very expensive stuff? j/k

I think you can contact UPS and tell them not to leave stuff on your poarch. I'm pretty sure you can do it with FedEx... not sure about UPS...

I wonder if they were confused about whose they were or just never got around to bringing them over.
