NOPE. Locked entry way.

How does the Amazon driver get into a locked entryway?

Under "delivery instructions" on amazon you can put in your code for locked gates, doors, entry ways...

But do you generally put your neighbor's code? RIF

The ups drivers tend to have keys for all such entryways on their routes. This isn’t strange.

It’s very strange. They had a package with a specific address and a specific code. Not the neighbors code.

In DC?

Sorry not sorry we don't want to live around low class trash and transient renters who won't hesitate to steal from neighbors. This is NOT normal and I don't care if it's replaced. This is NOT happening in Chevy Chase or Kent.

I hope this is sarcasm cuz if not I think we found the garbage person.

Yes, and they are good about it. I lived in a townhouse community and it happened to me several times over the years.

A couple times, after a neighbor opened the box and realized they hadn't ordered it, they brought the box back to me. So you could wait a day if you want.

One Christmas I unthinkingly opened a package, only to realize that it belonged to the neighbor across the street. I was still writing the apology when my husband came in with a package for us that had gone to that same neighbor.

An unexpected Christmas exchange, but all was well.

My neighbors do this for me too. Especially in Arlington when you have 23rd St and 23rd Rd with the same damn house numbers.

I did this the other day. I’d ordered a ton of stuff for one of my kids’ birthday parties and was expecting lots of packages. Amazon dropped about 10 boxes at once, I was ripping them open mindlessly until I got to one and as I opened it, I heard clanging metal parts and realized it was not anything I’d ordered, stopped, looked at the address and it was a neighbor’s across the street. I walked it over with an apology note stuck on.
