An idea about controlled deliveries.....

[Juice2121]

Just an idea of knowing your route carriers name. I know my usps mail lady. If I ever get a dilivery from someone I don't know I have it planned out as follows.

1st--90%chance its controlled because she never misses.
2nd--I've told her to just pull in my drive and honk if she needs me to sign for something. No sense in her having to waste her time coming to the door(or that's how I explained it to her).
3rd--If someone does come to my door I will ask where is Martha. When her name is Trudy.
4th--If they awnser sick. I'll say "I thought she was going on vacation this week?". Gauge there reaction.
5th--If they awnser any of these questions snidly or as if they have no clue. I tell them it's not mine, sorry.

Looks like you've given this alot of thought...

Is it not another level of piece of mind to have a mailbox drop ?? Last time I used any they would sign and accept a package for your mailbox and you would be able to go there anytime... You get to pick the time to pick the item and they have to continually stake it out round the clock (lots of overtime) and it seperates your delivery from your address and therefore

A) eases the continual nagging paranoia that stuff like this SHOULD give you...

B) means any warrant is that additional step harder to obtain if busted depending on your ties and links at the address it may be possible to give an alternative if the house is not clean (your girlfriend may not be happy to have a search but a damn sight happier than you getting a full bust)... Of course your employment / social security record may tie you into your address in the US a lot more than I am used to.

Just another way to make it harder on LE...
