Neighbor relations in my building, in two images
Last Sunday, January 29, I was coming back home from an event when I saw this on my building's bulletin board
For a bit of context - while it doesn't happen regularly, packages have been stolen from our lobby. And the laundry room table is something that people who live in the building call "the table of giving away stuff," because this is where we leave stuff we don't need/can't sell. A lot of times, you find some interesting stuff, like a TV, or history books, or DVD sets of TV shows, or vacuum cleaners. Sometimes, people leave clothes, and I learned to be very careful with that, because sometimes, people use the Landry table the way it was meant to be used for (to sort clothes you mean to wash), so it's very easy to grab someone's laundry by mistake.
Anyway, I figured that somebody must have stolen the bedding and food, and dumped the package on that Table of Giving Away Stuff to cover their tracks. Which was unfortunate, but not much anyone could do about it. I figured it was the last I would hear of this.
But on Monday, January 30, I saw another message on the bulletin board.
I suppose all is well that ends well... Though it's too bad that whoever originally opened the package and dumped it in the laundry room will probably never get caught.
