Our car is normally up the drive but my OH was out buying Christmas presents. I heard a knock at the door and went to answer but before I got there I got a fright when the door handle suddenly went (although thankfully the door was locked). I opened the door to a postie who had a hand-held device for signing for a parcel. It was legit - the device had my surname and the package was addressed to me. I tried to get a good look at him as I thought it was strange to try a door handle but he had a baseball hat on and was staring at the ground.
I understand if perhaps he was doing me a favour by leaving my parcel inside so I didn't have to walk a mile to the sorting office - but was he also planning on faking my signature too? I know a lot of extra posties are recruited at Christmas but do they carry out thorough background checks?
We were burgled a few years ago by someone who took a wrench to our old back window (old and wooden - now pvc and alarmed) so perhaps I'm more suspicous than normal. We do not have a porch - it's very clearly the only door to the house - is this normal behaviour for a postie?
