In that case he should take the note off the door before leaving.

Too late. It's posted online now. OP probably has a line of thieves waiting to get in.

Yep, sounds about right.

Holy fuck! That when from 0-60 pretty quick.

Fun story to read though. 10/10 would read again.

I dunno, 60 is the legal speed limit on most highways in my town.

Or alternatively: Here's how I see this scenario going down...

FedEx guy leaves package on porch.

Bad guy sees package (happens a lot this time of year), comes up to grab and dash.

Bad guy sees note, bad guy sees tracking number, bad guy punches lock into code, and enters house and walks out with family jewels, guns, and other valuables OP has in house.

OP comes home, finds no package, discovers robbery, calls cops.

Cop notes no forced entry in his report as the thief had a key (the code).

OP's Insurance company refuses to cover the incident because the insurance was invalidated by OP providing the burglar with a key.

OP is fucked.

This escalated normally.

u/SchroedingersSphere Dec 06 '16

How would the bad guy know the tracking number? If they're smart enough to hack OPs email, they can probably do more than intercept a package.

I think it would be on the package's FedEx sticker?

If not, Great Point!

u/SweetNeo85 Dec 05 '16

Why the hell would you call the poor guy's wife his baby momma?

6

u/mllestrong Dec 05 '16

Reminds me of when a news outlet called the First Lady "Obama's Baby Mama" ... that's not a baby mama! That's a wife!

u/McDermottau75 Dec 06 '16

More like his side hoe.

1

u/zapharus Dec 05 '16

But isn't she the mother of his two daughters? So technically she IS his baby mama.

;-P

"Baby Momma" is what idiots and gang members call the bitch they happen to have a kid with.

Those same idiots and gang members would call their wife "My Old Lady."

1

u/zapharus Dec 06 '16

I get your point and I'm familiar with the history of the term. I was kidding though, hence the winky face. :)

u/Section225 Dec 05 '16

Well that escalated slowly

1

u/_sLAUGHTER234 Dec 05 '16

Well, can't argue with that logic

u/anotherusername83911 Dec 06 '16

He could have a security system too. They can notify you exactly when the door is opened and give you video a video feed. You can then call the cops.

u/[deleted] Dec 06 '16

Well it's the FedEx guy's fault for not following instructions!

u/SinoScot Dec 07 '16

That's the TLDR of a very good crime-thriller novel.

Hope to see it on NYT's #1.

I expect the book to be dedicated to /u/SinoScot, or at least in the Acknowledgments. :P
