Doesn't that just apply to items addressed to you that are unsolicited? | |||

In Kentucky this is a form of theft. I would contact the police. | |||

I believe that just applies to stuff you didn't order and the sender tries to get you to send them money for it. For example, the NRA used to send DVDs unsolicited and then try to get you to send them $10+. The FTC rule applied and nobody owed them a damn thing. They tried it a couple times on me and I never sent them money and miraculously the unsolicited items quit arriving.

Someone at the shipping department at Sig transposed my zip code, got a different address warning and STILL shipped my pistol off to another city. They act like it as no big deal at all. ____________________________ Eeewwww, don't touch it! Here, poke at it with this stick. | |||

UPS and the USPS drops stuff off for the farm next door here all the time. I just load it up and drive it over to my neighbor.  He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. | |||

The neighbor sucks. This is why I have packages shipped to my office. 1500 people in the building, but a secured mailroom with signatures required to pick up packages. Stand and be true. May God stand between you and harm, in all the dark places you must walk. Be careful with your words and deeds. When all is said and done, they can only be forgiven, not forgotten. | |||

Good grief! Unless there are specific statutes to the contrary, if someone deliberately gives YOU something (and that includes deliberately sending it to YOU at your address), then it’s YOURS. They may attach conditions such as surrendering it back if you don’t pay for it, but even that may be unenforceable, and they certainly cannot require you to pay to send it back. If YOU buy something and it’s misdelivered, or you drop it on the sidewalk and someone finds it, or someone steals it from your mailbox or porch, it’s still YOURS, not the person to whom it was delivered or who found it or who stole it. It’s YOURS. The police may not do anything because it was misdelivered, but I would still report it as a theft. ► 6.4/93.6 “It is peace for our time.” — Neville the Appeaser | |||
