Ugh, this is no good. Joan writes:
Hey Wallyhood – just thought we’d put the word out that a package was stolen off our porch yesterday afternoon. The mailman said this has happened to others in Wallingford as well, so might be a good idea to be on alert and extra careful with leaving things out and about, and also to help out your neighbors by noticing any suspicious behavior.
This is nothing new, really (see Lurker Lurking, Package Stealing from 2010, for example), but the occasional reminder is helpful, we think.
i can’t believe that the fancy strollers I see on porches don’t get stolen more often
Well, eM, they will now that you mention it. ;(
I’ve had packages stolen before, as well. USPS tends to place packages on top of the mailbox, which is very visible from the street (the mailbox is for the entire apartment complex). Very unfortunate, since my actual door is just a few steps away, outside and hidden from view of the street. In the past, whomever was doing the route had put any boxes we received near our door, but hasn’t in the last four, five months.
What area did this one occur in?
Around 41st and Sunnyside, Karla.
My package was stolen on Friday, 1/20/12. Please be careful, people!
