Micheal Harding of Roehampton Ave. posted these pictures at Leaside Community of a parcel thief at work Monday. The man took one from Harding’s front step. He is asking for any help because there were lots of people out walking dogs at mid-afternoon. He thanks Jeff Gosselin from Cloud 9 AV for the camera setup and adds: “We’re unfortunately getting our money’s worth already.” There are many comments at Leaside Community
SAFE DROPPING SUGGESTED
Added to this post Thursday morning are the comments of a letter carrier Feng Chang who speaks of Safe Dropping, an interesting initiative:
Sorry to hear about your theft. I’m a current Canada Post letter carrier and “Safe Dropping” is a double-edged sword. Customers either prefer it or they don’t. Procedure is to prevent the parcel from being seen from the sidewalk/street, but discretion is left up to the individual. You can choose to: “Do Not Safe Drop”, “Signature Required” or “Card Item for Pickup”. A Delivery Notice Card is used if personal contact is unavailable. Parcels are then picked up at a Retail Postal Office. Unless “Card Item for Pickup” is noted, if something is safe dropped or carded without first attempting to deliver, your letter carrier is unfortunately cutting corners. Hope this helps
