I purchased a Perlier gift set from HSN to use as a Christmas gift. It arrived via UPS and was left at the door as we weren't home. This morning DH found it out there, by the garage door, and it was open and EMPTY. Called HSN - replacement is on the way. However, I am led to wonder who that lives here in my gated community relieved me of the contents of my package?I will have to go around sniffing everyone at the Christmas party to see if I detect the scent of honey lemon.

It makes you wonder what our world is coming to when you can't even trust your neighbors. I know that empty box feeling very well. I hope you "smell" the one who has it. Good Luck!

Yes, it is very upsetting that someone who either lives here or is visiting here has stolen my package contents.

I guess when dishonest young people get old they become dishonest seniors.

Leave them another package.  Take an empty box, put your dog droppings in it, slap a couple of stamps on it and make it look real pretty for them and let them have a present for Christmas.  Someone up in Indy did that when they had a package stolen, and sure enough, their security cameras showed them picking up the dog poo package!

That's awful.  It would make me wonder what else this person is up to.

I guess I'll be hugging everyone at the Christmas party so I can sniff them.

@151949  I'm not following your timeline????

 

If the package was delivered while you were not home, didn't you see it when you got back home??  DId it take the next morning to see it???

 

I'm surprised the package was not taken completely.  Thieves grab and go and don't take the time to open to see if it something they want.  It's pot luck so to speak.

 

You might consider tracking your package next time.

Do you have an office that sends out a monthly letter for your community? I would let them know so that they can warn others. Sorry that happened to you. You wouldn't expect it in a gated community.
