Mail

Down at the pub last night I heard a most interesting unsubstantiated rumor, that packages delivered by post may be disappearing off folks front porches. Has anyone had an issue with this of late? I am going to speak with the post office today but wanted to know if anyone has been affected. Please email me @ bnbragsdale@comcast.net.
I will keep you posted.
