Someone is trolling my mail

I’m gonna get straight to the point: In the past 2 weeks I’ve had 2 packages stolen from me. One had its box ripped open, its content stolen, and thrown back on my driveway. The other was simply stolen from my front door. My front door doesn’t even face the streets, so I only have one question:

Seriously, what sort of ghetto neighborhood is this?

At first I thought it was just some brat who got into my first package and stole it. But then it happened again. Some ghetto hooha is trolling my stuff and they’ve already stolen a perfume and a purse D< And of course, the post office (or any government related agencies really) is useless, so I doubt I can get anything back, despite this being a federal felony. That’s right, the twat can go to federal prison for this, given that I can actually find him/her.

But since I doubt I can, I’ve come up with a plan to at least get back at the tart for being a troll + thief: poop (and other surprises) in a box. I’ll be leaving a “package” by my door in a couple of days, and hopefully they’ll come trolling along and steal it. When they opens it, they’ll be delighted to find inside:

  • a bag of my cats’ poop and pee
  • an angry letter from me
  • a couple banana peel
  • a rotten egg

Any other ideas of what to put inside this lovely package would be appreciated :D

    Ugh, this is one of my worse nightmares D: I really hope that you can catch the person, or that they remember they have morals and stop stealing your packages. Have you tried to ask the post office if they can keep packages so you have to go in person to pick them up?

      I will do that from now on, or ship it to my boyfriend’s parents’ place. I doubt they’ll remember their morals (they probably didn’t have any to begin with), so I wouldn’t count on that -_-

    That’s awful! I’d be so pissed off if someone stole my stuff. I suggest you spray the outside with vinegar so when they touch the box, their hands will get all smelly. Or like leave inconspicuous amounts of super glue on the box so it gets stuck to their hands.

    • http://riyuu.org/ Jenny

      Haha, I thought of the super glue idea but then if they don’t pick it up before the glue dries, it’ll defeat the purpose. The vinegar idea is great though, I’ll do that >D Thanks for the suggestion!

    Ughhhhhhhh that simply sucks. I don’t know what I’d do if that happened to me, if it continues I would hide a webcam or something behind the bushes. Or, if I had all the time in the world, I’d leave a nice looking packing at my door step, and watch intently behind the curtains.

    I would like to catch this son of a bitch first before doing anything else.

    I’m getting mixed feelings about leaving a fake package. It would either make the perpetrator stop in complete disgust, or add more fuel to the fire.  If you leave poop in there and the person is crazy enough, they can smear said poop against your door or something. So just be careful and I hope that crazy person stops taking your packages!

      I’m thinking about getting a camera as well, but hopefully the bastard doesn’t steal that as well -_-
      My boyfriend had the same concern about the poop, but cat poop usually hardens after a while, so I doubt they can smear that against my door. They could throw it at my door, which might also be messy. Ah well, I’ll think of something to get back at them >D

    When I was reading your tweets I figured you must live in an apartment. I’ve seen packages ripped open and returned at my old complex. Luckily I’ve moved to a more homey area with less douchebags; everyone is very respectful. If you have a window facing the door I’d put a camera there and record… Someone did that and was featured on the local news a few weeks ago, because they continually caught some dude stalking a UPS truck to snatch whatever packages he left at people’s door. Get a job, people.

    • http://riyuu.org/ Jenny

      It’s a hybrid between an apartment & townhouse and it’s weird because there are a lot of kids in my neighborhood, but I guess that doesn’t stop the d-bags from stealing my stuff. Everyone has been telling me to move now, but I’m too lazy, lol
      I actually do have a window facing the door….maybe I’ll install the cam there! Thanks for the suggestion!!PS. wtf, someone was literally stalking a UPS truck? Get a life!

  • paddlinggeeknet

    I do have to agree with Marjorie, if you can get a webcam or something looking over the door.  Is it possible to have the package be delivered elsewhere like an office or a backdoor? 

    • http://riyuu.org/ Jenny

      I guess I could have stuff delivered to the post office/fedex store/ups store or my boyfriend’s parents’ place, but it’s just an extra hassle because I now have to go there to pick it up. I guess it beats my stuff getting stolen -_-
      I’ll try the webcam by the window idea, it seems to make more sense than the surprise poop package, lol

    Wow, that sucks a lot! I’m always afraid of packages being stolen at my door. I really hope that person gets caught. People in my neighborhood put up signs about suspicious activity or people when they see it. I think it ends up scaring those people away since it makes everyone more alert.I think a fake package would be funny, especially if you used empty boxes from other items (to look like it’s an actual package of stuff inside). I would have the same fear as tiff though! I would hate for the person to throw the stuff back at your house D=

    • http://riyuu.org/ Jenny

      Aw, that’s nice of people in your neighborhood. I wish mine was more homey like that :( Maybe I’ll use an empty package instead…or one with stuffing paper to make it seem heavier, that definitely seems safer.

    You should just install a camera at your door and catch them in the act. It’s illegal to steal mail!

    • http://riyuu.org/ Jenny

      I know! I looked into it and it’s a federal felony – never knew it was that serious o_o But yeah, I’m definitely getting a camera now!

  • http://wordsbylj.blogspot.com/ Larissa

    That’s horrible, I’m sorry to hear that someone is taking your post. I hope you catch them. >.<  I like the idea of your surprise package you are leaving for them though! That should teach them a lesson. haha :D   <3

    • http://riyuu.org/ Jenny

      I hope I catch them too, that no-good twat! I was hoping to teach them a lesson with the surprise package, but after what other people said in the comments, I might just leave an empty package in hopes of catching them in the act :/

  • http://gailaloo.com/ Gail

    Oh that’s unfortunate.. who ever does that to you will have his/her own karma. Hmmm.

    • http://riyuu.org/ Jenny

      Well, karma is a b*tch, so that person will get it sooner or later >)

  • http://www.infektia.net/ Malin

    That’s horrible! I would be furious! So I suggest to install a camera at the door and place a box with cat poo and the rest you listed as a little treat for the thief! ;)

    • http://riyuu.org/ Jenny

      Yeah, I was beside myself when the second package got stole D< I'm definitely gonna get a camera and try to catch the thief!

  • http://www.mishinformed.com/ Michelle

    That is crazy! People are so pathetic and it annoys me so much that they can steal other people’s things :( I’m really sorry.
    Our Post Office is just as useless!

    Ha ha, great idea!Why not put an insect or something in it? The thing can jump out at the person… I’d be so freaked out!

    • http://riyuu.org/ Jenny

      Yeah, it just goes to show how ghetto people can be and how they need to get a life -_-
      I actually don’t know of any post offices that aren’t useless, ha!

      The insect idea definitely came to mind. I was gonna go to the pet store to buy some but then it just didn’t make sense to spend money for the sake of a twat that stole my mail -_-

    That is the correct response to this situation. Do tell us what happens next!
