Send Bail Money


 

I’ve been reported to the local police for being a porch pirate! Seems a local resident has cameras everywhere on his nearby property and “caught me in the act”. Am I guilty? Yes, I am.

Overstock.com accepted my order for a folding hand cart (under $40).  In the ensuing emails, I noticed I had entered my address wrong, 1515 instead of 1512!

Have you ever tried to wade through the UPS website to report a problem? Maybe you succeeded, I didn’t.

Late in the evening Overstock sent me an email saying my order was delivered. Bundled up (-2°) and went to the “wrong” address. The house is vacant but my order was on the porch. Retrieved my package and returned to my apartment building. I was caught on camera.

Same neighbor took my picture this morning while I was out walking Banner and sent it to the building manager. I printed a copy of the Overstock email with the incorrect address and gave it to him. End of story as far as he is concerned.

Am I angry about the neighborhood snoop?  Not really, he is a concerned citizen. It does bring to mind we are becoming more and more a surveillance state, public and private.

Do you think I will need a lawyer?

You are working way too hard at getting busted for something.

LOL, nah, you owned up to it and gave them the proof. You're good (but you're now on ANOTHER list)...

Providing employment to data collectors, I suppose.

Addressed to you, they'd have been breaking the law if they opened your package.
Would they have opened it?

That is a good question. I don't know.
