I saw something similar recently (albeit less impressively engineered) with a box of dirty cat litter.

Something completely different. Love the idea and the responses are hilarious.

This hits home as I think a package of mine got jacked last month.

I'm a big fan of receiving packages from Amazon then reporting them stolen a week after the scheduled delivery date.

Fuck's sake, guys. This hurts hearing about all these package theft stories. Here in good ol' Japan, every package must be signed for. If you're not home, they leave a slip of paper telling you when they tried to deliver and their phone number, so you can call a schedule a re-delivery time.

Just live in the country. Everyone's too far away from eachother to care about thieving their neighbor's ****. Too much work.

^ Yes, I think you probably would. It has the virtue of being very straightforward and easy to read - even after a mind-numbing day of tedious work. You'd be able to compare notes, I suppose, with the different jobs that she tries; about six in all, each for a couple of months I think.

Some people reroute packages to a local retail store and they go there to pick it up. It's much safer. But packages get stolen all the time. I get phone calls about it every day.
