busted

J-rod shared this story with me over the weekend that he had read on an off-topic board on HawkeyeReport.

A man from North Liberty kept having packages stolen from his doorstep, they were never of much value but the delivery companies would always have proof of delivery. He decided to set up a webcam in his front window so the next time something went missing, he would have some insight as to what was going on. Well his webcam has paid off. He had a ordered a laptop cover and it was scheduled to be delivered on Friday, he got home and what do you know, the package was missing. He played back his recording and found his neighbor pulling his car up, grab the package and place it in his trunk.

How awkward would it be to continue to live next to this person?



This story reminded me of one of my most memorable stories while at TM.

A customer called in to say that their tickets never arrived in the mail. Their account was marked and they were told it wouldn't be a problem the night of the show. The customer went to the box office the night of the event and had their tickets reprinted. The ticket taker scanned their tickets at the door and they were stopped with a warning message, their tickets had already been used. They explained what happened and were let in the door. They found their seats and sure enough someone was sitting in their seats....who could it be? Their neighbors. Shame on the neighbors for stealing the tickets but how dumb can you be to sit in the same seats?

Whatever happened to "love your neighbor as yourself."
