We have a thief or thieves in our mist. Today a package was
stolen from our property. According to the USPS the package was left outside
for us to receive. However, we never saw it and can only conclude that there is
a thief among us who is watching the comings and goings of the shipping
services that are delivering packages throughout the neighborhood.
Therefore, it is important that everyone in our area be
aware that the thief is still out there and might be someone you see every day.
Be watchful of persons, male or female loitering around who either is not from
our area, or is acting unusual and more attended of the comings and goings at
your home more than they need to be.
The theft of our package has been reported to the seller,
the USPS and the St. Petersburg Police Department. Luckily, because we took some simple
safeguards the seller has refunded our money. So the only harm done was the
minimizing of the thief integrity and reputation.
BE WATCHFUL!
THIS THIEF IS REALLY AMONG US!

12/26/2014 – Update
It is surprising how things go missing and later turns up in
a place previously search more than once. This was the case with our package. Nevertheless,
mail tampering is a serious crime. The person or persons who took our package
on Christmas Eve morning brought attention to their misdeed to the entire
avenue in which we live. We doubt that we would have gotten the package back if
we had not shared the information with all the families in our immediate area. In
fact, we had written the package off as a lost.
Yet, now that we have the package, we have to make things
right with the seller because they were kind enough to issue a refund. In addition, the person or persons behind the
theft has insured that we upgrade our security system.
No one was happy about this incident. However, at the time
of the theft, the thief did not care about anything but what he/she could gain from
it.
