Don’t attribute to malice what can be equally be explained by stupidity


Yeah, this whole “shopping trip” thing is probably just a courier leaving it in their car.

Kind of an interesting world we live in where having anything packed by another person means that they could have full access to your location.

I also wonder if the person got a bunch of those anti-stalking notifications…


Hanlon's razor


I've had missing bags delivered at least two or three times, and it's always just some dude in an unmarked car ala an Uber or Lyft. These couriers are just usually gig workers from what I can tell, and like peer comments say, this is probably just some rando ending up with some luggage that they are unsure of what to do with.

I'm not saying it is good, but it likely explains it.
