[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 335528, member: 4653"] Putting something is a federal offense, I know. Have you ever heard of someone being prosecuted for it? I hope the FBI has better things to do than bust UPS drivers for putting packages in people's mailboxes. I know its against the rules and if you don't know the local letter carrier, you should never do it. But, if I have a small parcel, and the driveway is 1/4 mile long, and if there is mail in the box, I stick it in there. The only people who will know you did this will be the homeowner and you. Its not worth it if there is no mail in the box. I had a problem a couple of years ago with our mailwoman. Verizon was sending a 2-page add out to every house in the town 2-day air at the time. Basically it was junk mail that people didn't request and probably didn't want. So, on these days every house on my route is getting them. I normally would throw them on their doorstep, but this day it was raining out so I left some in mailboxes to keep them dry. I got scolded by the mailwoman the next day. I should have just let them get wet because I wasn't going to bag 250 envelopes that day and nobody would have cared. [/QUOTE]
