Gun only holds 20 bullets, bats last for hours!

If you need 20 bullets then you are not worthy of owning one

If one bullet works well, 20 bullets should work 20 times as well.

put a package in your mail.

inside it, put a note.

write:

"Dear Thief. I am on to you. I just wanted to let you know that you have been caught on video camera.

Unless I receive all my packages back within 24 hours, I will take the tape to the police.

Tampering with mail is a FEDERAL OFFENSE. I just wanted to remind you of this.

24 hours, bitch!!!"

ahahah even though you don't have a camera, they don't know that!!!

Thank you, thank you.

I guess just me writing it on the internet made the thief fear so much that he returned the package! 😀

You should put a note on your mailbox:
"To whoever it may concern: Please do not steal my mail anymore. I have a video camera set up to detect any motion near my mailbox, and I *will* turn your tape into the police."

Or something like that. 🙂

Or get a ghille suit, airsoft gun, and camp out! 😀 🙂
 
either one of the peopel you told youd be doign soemthing about it returned your package..or it got placed in the wrong box and the person put in back into yours....

u still have one missing box though...id contact the post office
 
It's possible the postman screwed up and delivered it to the wrong mailbox. Or that the sender mixed up the numbers a bit and he screwed up. Or the person took the package and then had guilty conscience but I'm thinking one of the first two.

Had a package sent to me and the shipper inverted the middle two numbers so ended up at a nieghbors house. Fortuntely the neighbors were kind and passed it along after I tracked it down.

TIPS:

Interestingly, as a seller you really need signature confirmation to have any protection. Without that, the seller has no proof that you (the buyer) received the item. Delivery confirmation just means it got from point a to point b but doesn't mean that the person living at point b got the package.

Thus--For expensive stuff I'll pay extra for that signature. The drawback is the buyer has to be home to sign for the package or go pick it up at the office if they can't be home. But, for example, PayPal requires a signature for the seller to have any protection. I'd also imagine if it came to a court case you'd be screwed. However, you might be able to get the shipping co insurance to pay for the item if they delivered it wrong... but really that signature is key.

BOTH UPS and USPS charge extra for signature confirmation. You have to ASK for it specifically... they tend not to advertise it, I imagine because it slows things up.

Amazon.com was kind enough to resend the item through UPS. Props to them for that. So its all good now.
 
i suggest combining the note idea with the baseball bat idea. leave the note, then when the bitch comes crawling back with your stuff, crack his head open.
 
Postman probably delivered it to the wrong place. Happens all the time. You'll rarely hear them admit to it.

Delivery confirmation isn't worth much. I've had an occasional package go to the wrong post office and say it was delivered, yet show up weeks later.
