But it was to get my own package.

I ordered a new sd card from best buy, which for some reason doesn't want to respect my decision to use this address and defaulted to my old address. I didn't pay attention assuming it was on the right address, didn't notice the mistake until this morning when it was out for delivery. UPS has the 'where's my truck' noticed that it wasn't anywhere near my apartment...then recognized it as my old address...then went back to the best buy order and sure enough it was set to the old address.

So after it was marked delivered i drove about 30 mins to snag it before the people living in my old apartment could notice

Once its on their property its no longer your order, thats your fault and UPS fault, UPS has insurance to cover the lost and send you a new one. Dont be a thief because of that error.

There's two buildings here that each have an apartment 14. It feels like I'm constantly having to sneak over to the other one to pick up packages that they didn't bother to check the correct building for. Strangely enough, I've never noticed it happening the other way around.

There is a difference between morality and legality. I wouldnt suggest doing it solely because if seen it coulda caused some issues. But I wouldnt call it a wrong. Just risky

Yeah, I did this, but was just at a neighbor's place and they didn't answer the door. We get frequent delivery mix-ups so I'm often taking things to houses down the street, just once taking it back...

TC could also get some crazy person who goes to the extreme with porch pirates and get hurt if he is unlucky.

You could have at least knocked, explained the sitch, showed them the package, etc. Shit, maybe even have a good friendly chat and a laugh. Instead, you chose to be awkward.

Once I had an order dropped off at my house that wasn't mine, so I walked it to the dude's house.

It was a bubble envelope so i sorta felt what it was. It was some sort of tube apparatus.

This reminds me of when I went grocery shopping and an identical SUV to mine was in the parking lot. The same color, interior, and everything.

Not sure if they left it unlocked or if my remote did it, but I was able to open the back and put in all my groceries inside. I thought the case of water bottles was weird and maybe my brother put them there.

When I got in the driver's seat I noticed a child's flip flop on the passenger side floor. I was like wtf. Then it wouldn't start. Not sure why it took me so long to realize it wasn't my car.

So I got out and snatched everything from the back before the owner came out of the store. It was terrifying.

could be both but i think a kramer plot would be superior in this situation.

TC, you're going to jail. They had a camera and saw you steal the package.

it would be pretty weird of them to order something in my name, but i guess they would have been getting whatever didn't get forwarded the first few months and could have just thought my name was that awesome

i never did this with my own car, but i was with my aunt once and she left her wallet in the car and gave me the keys to get it while she waited in line...then i spent like 3 minutes trying to open the wrong car.

with 10,000 spoons level of irony, it was an sd card for my dash cam.
