I am writing because I had a package stolen off my porch that was very, very dear to me. It apparently happened on either May 3 or 4th. Unfortunately, I did not know when to expect the package and didn’t realize it was missing right away.
It was a Fed Ex package containing a big stack of loose leaf papers with handwritten notes. The person that sent them back to me forgot to require a signature upon delivery, and so it was left on the porch apparently in plain sight of the street. I live at the corner of 46th and Eastern.
As soon as someone opened it, they must have decided that it was of no value to them and tossed it somewhere. Maybe it was tossed in a garbage can. Well, garbage pick up has come and gone. But I am writing this on the slim chance that maybe it was tossed on the side of the road, or someone saw it in their garbage can and took it out.
Please, please, please if you know anything at all about this, or have any advice at how I may ever see these papers again, let me know!
And, lesson learned, packages cannot be left on the porch!
Sorry to hear this! Did you perhaps post to Craigslist and other neighborhood blogs? A friend had a package (of no monetary value) stolen from Fremont and dumped in bushes up near Greenwood. Someone might have found your pages, but without contact info.
Thanks GGM. That’s good advice and gives me a sliver of hope too.
I’m so sorry to hear that Farrah! We live on 46th and Eastern too. We’ll keep an eye out for it.
Thank you for the reminder that we need to require a signature before a package can be delivered. So easy to forget to do this.
Sorry about your package. We live at 2nd and 45th and did not get our package that Ontrac said they delivered on the 4th of May. I have a feeling someone was following delivery trucks that day and picking them up as soon as they were dropped off. The funny thing was I was at home but OnTrac did not ring or knock to let me know they delivered the package.
Thank you all for commiserating. It helps! well, hard lesson learned. time to work on my attachment now…
