@151949  That's a real bummer.  I live in a condo (not gated), but my delivery people (both USPS and UPS) leave large packages on my back doorstep, which is located inside my fenced in patio with the garage behind it.  Since my detached garage is back there too, I literaly have to climb over them to get into my condo.  So far I've had no problems with that........it would take a lot of gaul to go in there after a package, not knowing if I was home or not.  My mail comes to a box outside my front door.......viewable to all other condos within the courtyard.  Thankfully, no problems there yet.  If I ever saw anyone stealing a package I think I'd sick my next door neighbor's pitbull on them!

Just because it's a gated community doesn't mean everyone that lives there is a good person

Lol!  I was just being facetious.

there are "bad"people everywhere.  A gated community means nothing.

Who let the bad guys into a gated community?

The people who work for the landscape company - the utilities employees - idiots giving out the codes to plumbers , appliance repairmen, and every other Tom, *ick and Harry who does work on their home, empolyees of all the vendors who do maintainence work like painters, pool guys, housekeepers, HVAC guys Fireman, policeman and paramedics.UPS & other delivery companies. The Schwans Man. Probably hundreds of people have codes to open those gates. My housekeeper has a code , I bet a lot of housekeepers here have the code. Any idea that those gates actually are protecting anyone is pure fantasy.

People seem to like the idea of telling other people that they live in a gated community.

Lol!  Yeah, I noticed.  I'd like to go on record saying I don't live in a gated community and have never had a package or it's contents stolen.

Could your husband have accidentally run over the box and made up the story to cover up?

I had my first problem ever with the USPS.  I had a return and I took it to the post office and put it where they said to put pre-paid postage boxes and it disappeared from inside the post office.  There was a man there just kind of looking at all the pre-paid boxes - that kind of makes me wonder.
