SEEMS LIKE HE KNEW THAT THOSE ‘SMALL’ PKGS WERE THERE …WHAT ‘ASS’ WOULD ORDER 230.K WORTH OF JEWELRY W/O ‘INSURANCE’ & ‘RETURN RECEIPT W/ A ‘SIGNATURE’???
It’s a shame in this day and age that ridiculously expensive condos are using ancient old 240p security cameras. I see you’re moneys well spent living in these shmancy apartments.
I’ve had to sign for a $100 jacket. Why would you ship this without a signature? Sounds odd.
There’s something rotten in the state of Denmark. Who would ship a quarter million dollars worth of jewelry in this fashion? Sounds like an insurance scam to me.
It’s almost that time of year again. For something of such high value, those packages should’ve been signed for, not just dropped off. Anyway, that sucks.
Never mind signatures, deliverymen are the new paperboys – throw mail and packages aimlessly at the curb, into the garbage cans, even at addresses that weren’t expecting packages, and call it a day.
