We have a PO box. The only thing that comes to our house is junk mail. If anything else comes it's because I know it's coming. I only allow pkgs. to be shipped to my house that will have a tracking number, I can go online and see where it is. Once DH found a purse (tote size). He walked around the purse and since we live in south Texas, he didn't pick it up. Good thing too, a small rattle snake crawled out of it. it was laying on the side of a sidewalk in a small rural town. he let the snake crawl away but called the police to pick it up. He was also asked why he didn't shoot the snake. He told the officer it didn't go into strike mode, it just crawled away and it needed to go to work to rid the nearby houses of rodents. Turns out the purse was empty of any cash but the ID was still in it. But it was a large tote and that is really the reason DH called the police.
