Someone might be fucking with my mail

Here's the situation: I'm renting a flat and on the mailbox is written the name of my landlord. DNM orders are of course with my name on them, but on delivery they are usually left beside the mailboxes. Last time something came the letter was inside the mailbox. The next day a woman from my building asks if I found the letter, she put it inside for me because "the old lady from the first floor is a bit crazy and might take it". There is some truth in her statement, but I say there is something else might be going on. My last order was from GG and it didn't come. I'm suspecting there is mail foul play here and I'm determined to find if this is true.

The best thing I could think of is to use some device like tile (a small bluetooth emitter that helps you find lost keys, etc.), put it in a small package and leave it to see if it will grow legs.

So good people of /dnm - do you have any other ideas or stories you'd like to share on the subject?

Or you know.. Ask the landlord to provide a locked mailbox because ur mails getting stolen or buy your own and swap with their permission? This way youll have peace of mind

A PO box costs like $9 a month. Pretty sure that would be cheaper than your GPS tricks.

Simply set camera up watching the mailbox and wait. The tile thing can work but is garbage legal proof compared to getting the act on video. Not sure what's up with this lady but for sure not cool to take other people's mail.

I'd just buy a locked mailbox like you said, not sure how the mailman can get into it though unless you give him a key

The gps is a good idea as is a camera but really if you are going to be ordering regularly then unless you can get a lockable mailbox I would be constantly thinking and stressing about it being tampered with especially if someone who likes drugs now knows you are getting them delivered.

I am as honest as they come and if I knew a neighbour was getting a couple of grams of coke in the mail, I do not think I would swipe it but it would give me reason to pause for a moment.

Perhaps a paid for solution from the post office etc.

I'd not order to an adress wheremy name is not on the mailbox in the first place. Good luck for finding the thief.

No. Talking about our post is boring and pointless. I wouldn't do that to you guys.

Buy a Tile. Bluetooth it to your phone. They are amazing.

Get a small hidden camera and prop it up in the corner of the mailbox and review the footage from now on. Until you get the camera you need to put something that will fall or move when someone opens the mailbox. If it moved then someone fucked with your shit and if it didn't move you're good.

Alternatively, you could just sit and take it day off from work when you expect it to come. Sit at the mailbox until the mail gets there. Or you can wait from your window and when you see the person fuck them up.

Tell that bitch from the building to not touch your fucking shit, it's not her mail I don't give a fuck if she found it or not, and also tell the crazy lady not to touch your shit too, it doesn't matter if she did or not. Also, the woman that put it inside sounds sketchy as fuck, maybe she's just getting high on your packs.
