I shouldn't be too surprised

With the recent increase in enormous white Crate & Barrel boxes on our porch recently, I shouldn't have been too surprised. I called C&B to check on a few items that were part of a larger order but which still hadn't arrived, a month after the first items, and it turns out they were probably stolen off our porch.

Now, C&B has insurance or FedEx has insurance (interestingly, the UPS boxes all arrived, while the FedEx ones listed no signature and were all missing), so in fact no one is out any money (and some person has some sweet free pitchers and a quiche dish!). But now all deliveries to our house are compromised, even for my roommates, who didn't do anything to deserve this.

Fortunately our kind officiant, who lives not too far away, in a house whose porches are nicely hidden by enormous hedges, offered to take delivery of the rest of our things. This deserves a mega-thank-you, but I'm also happy to have an excuse to go see him and his wife more often.
