Not that a package went missing, but I got a package I didn't order addressed to me.
Here's what happened:
a local waiter got a copy of our credit card when hubby and I were out to dinner. Figured that he would look up our address and figure out our schedules of being home, etc. Creepy right? His plan was to buy something electronic with our credit card, ship to our house, have access to UPS tracking information so he knew when it would arrive. His plan also included the fact that once I saw the charge on my credit card, I would call up the vendor and say "I never received that." To which their response would have been "Oh yes, it was delivered on February 14."
Well guess what- we had a whopper of a snow storm the night of February 13. I had made the command decision that I was not going to work the next day. I am so greatful that I had that kind of understanding manager. That's when the package arrrived and I foiled the con-man's plans. Since my car was in the driveway, he couldn't come to collect the package he ordered. It was a very nice digital camera, paid for by me and addressed to me. So, immediately - hubby and I cancelled the card, returned the camera to the vendor with an explanation, and read about the con-man's plans the following week in the newspaper. (There were other less-fortunate victims.)
