I’m soooooo pissed!!!! I ordered a web cam so I can chat with Andi over in Iraq.. It came today about 1pm. Unfortunately I was at work and got home about 5pm. When I walked up to my door there was a box and styrofoam peanuts and the packing slip all over the floor… no web cam. Some inconsiderate idiot stole it!!!!!!!!! They even ripped off the shipping label and took that too. I called the police. They came and took a report. The officer told me to contact the shipper, which I immediately did and told them the whole story. The officer wants the serial number from the web cam. Hopefully the company has that on file. I have to contact the post office in the morning and tell them what happened too. I think I’ll go into work late tomorrow and go to the post office 1st thing.
It’s not that this was an expensive web cam, $24.00 with shipping and handling, it’s that I can’t afford to get another for another couple of weeks! I’m so upset I could just cry!!! I don’t really want to press charges… I just want the web cam back!!!
Pardon my language here……. Goddammit all to HELL!!!!!!!
I’ll know next time I order anything and have it shipped here to make sure in the shipping instructions I put “Do not leave at door” GRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We never used to be concerned about that–often left our front door unlocked or even open when just popping down to the post office or to the grocery store… until our new “neighbors” moved in and began giving trailer park trash a run for the money. *sigh* Now, cars locked at night, front door locked (not worrying about the back door, cos anyone attempting to come in that way will have to kill 2 VERY LARGE and territorial dogs, and getting them both would be problematic… ), etc., cos I don’t want to be forced to take ‘extreme measures’. (Yeh, I can install surveillance cameras pretty cheaply, but they already know I have pics, recordings and video of their misbehavior to date, and… with a little judicious rumor-mongering I’ve been able to get them to shut down their flophouse, tie up their wandering dog and cease the past midnight drug and beer parties… Cops were NO help, so I was forced to use the third world county rumor mill. *heh*)
