Excellent news Bob, and thanks for letting us know.
Unfortunately, some delivery drivers -- regardless of which service they
work for, be it UPS, USPS, FedEx Express, FedEx Ground, or whomever... just
plain don't give a darn.
I still remember the day that my Omni VI+ was SUPPOSED to arrive. The boss
was home, had the day off, but the UPS driver never knocked or rang the
bell, just left a note. When I got wind of it, I called and raised heck...
they got a hold of him and told him to try again... and he did the exact
same thing again! (I ended up going to the local UPS depot that evening and
picking it up myself)
I've had FedEx packages for my neighbors delivered to my home.
I once got a package addressed to a (would-be teenage rapper)
"N.O.T.O.R.I.O.U.S T.E.D" at a totally different address on the other side
of town... because the postal carrier saw that 'gag' name and somehow
thought it was meant for me.
And, it's a running joke in my club that Roadway STILL has our tower trailer
"on the books" as lost and never delivered... even though it arrived
(without packaging crate, go figure that one) on the very day that N3ZK was
being told that it was lost... in fact, it was being delivered as he was on
the phone getting that news. But Roadway tells us that they are still
looking for it, and one of these days, they will find it...
Never mind. The important thing is that the Eagle has been found and all is
well.

The good news is that the Eagle has been located and retrieved. So all is
well and UPS has been so notified.
The bad news, apparently the UPS driver does not know street names or
numbers or doesn't care. Yet their system shows it was delivered to the
correct address, which indeed it was not. Fortunately the caretaker of the
unoccupied property where the packages were left found the items and
arranged to get them to the proper person and correct address.
Yes, we find there are a few honest and respectable folks still left in the
world. I am thankful for that.
