I wouldn't like seeing packages left on top of my box.
I live in one of those areas that to far out to have mail delivered to my property, so it's either a PO Box or a rural mailbox that are clustered together, usually about 20 or so, right off the main road. These make easy targets for the Meth Heads and pill popping douche bag thieves that make up a high percentage of the local residents, so I pay to have a secure box at the post office. Last thing I need is someone stealing my seeds and then looking up my name in our boroughs online property tax site, getting my addy and paying my place a visit.
I had a neighbor about a mile down the road who got into a gun fight with 2 dudes that came to rob his crop. He warded them off (legal state). His game camera picked up their faces and vehicle. He called the troopers and they had an APB out for those guys within the hour. They caught the turds and charged them with a shit load of class A felonies.
Glad to hear those assholes got caught man, for real. Things like that are very common around here. You said meth heads, Eastern Ky has the worse case of that in the entire US man. Its pitiful how bad it is here. Not only that but heroin is also starting to catch up closely behind. Its sad, but people are going to make their own bed and lay in it, ya know? I try to avoid those folks at all costs... Around here to be honest, people go messing around in another mans crop, you can expect to end up in a sinkhole with an almost unlimited depth with little or no effort being put forth into any type of investigation whatsoever, if caught. People take it so so serious here, mostly due to the economy and reliance upon income.
You also got the cases of the local sheriffs and law enforcement getting busted in the past for cultivation, trafficking, conspiracy, laundering etc themselves. Eastern Ky is a whole nother World. I have never been anywhere else like it other than a few places in North East Tn.
I know several commercial growers in my belt of the woods, and I know a couple that are law enforcement, 3 are school teachers and one a lawyer. If that isn't insane, I don't know what is!
But yeah that time I got those 8 boxes, for shits and giggles I googled the mailing address on the box (I'm sure you remember this) and it linked directly to this very thread. All other search results were clear as spring water. Thank God to the mods that removed that for us... People in legal states do not understand, even if they "think" they understand, they just don't...
I believe ever so often we should remind the GPS community not to list mailing address on the thread so to be sure it doesn't happen again. I had such a bad feeling that day lol, which I'm sure was just 98% paranoia but still, sometimes paranoia can save your life.
