Hey, folks of The Woodlands.

Just an fyi.

One of your neighbors stole an xmas present I sent a friend of mine.
Then lied about it to her face.
UPS has their signature time-stamped as having received the bottle of wine.
What happened is that it went in her name but to her old address (where some scummy people have clearly moved in).
My friend (a single mom of a special needs son who moved from that home to one 2 streets over) went over to ask them for the package and they lied to her face, refused to give their name, and slammed the door in her face.

Nice. Classy. At xmas no less.

Unfortunately - crummy people live in every neighborhood - regardless of income bracket.

egg their home until further notice

but i believe that is some lower type of mail fraud no? print out the copy of the slip, put it in their face, call them out for being bored lousy drunks and demand they pay for it. preferably do this around their children or when neighbors are present

If they accepted and opened a package that wasn't addressed to them
, why wouldn't it be theft?

According to the wine distributor, UPS denies responsibility because although it went to the wrong person, it went to the correct address.

But they deny getting it...lol...

Get all the info you can from UPS, receipts, delivery time, signature, etc and file a police report with the recipients local police. It doesn't matter that it had their address on it, if it was addressed to another person, they have no right to it.

Or if the bottle wasn't expensive, chalk it up to your mistake for sending it to the wrong place and move on.

Hmm, not sure what you can legally do as it was delivered to the correct address.

It was over 150 bucks. That's expensive to me.
