not sure how much i can post as excerpt- so I'll give a short synopsis here to what i thought was a neat ending- The porch pirates (Those who steal packages off other people's porches), two drug addicted women, found out that they had just stolen a package that was suppsoed to go to a sick 5 year old boy with brain tumor- so they returned the package with a note of apology, saying they were ashamed for what they had done

The family didn't press charges, and hope the ladies will seek medical help apparently-

A. If the family had spent over $2K dollars to get this project done, they should have had it delievered to the post office for pick up. Door delivery is not advised for anything near this precious.
B. Warning!!: Have an open box of Tissues handy in case you have ‘unexpected eye problems’.

We are supposed to be touched, and I was too, initially.

But then again, that belt was so unique, that if they would have tried to sell it on the internet, they would have been caught for sure.

They probably figured that out too, and hence this “touching gesture” of returning it.

You obviously don’t know any drug addicts :)

They don’t care about ANYTHING but the next hit 99 percent of the time.

I’m one CYNICAL SOB but you make me feel like a cup half full kinda guy

Thanks :)

Being touched brings a couple different meanings to mind but I digress. When shipping or having valuables shipped to me I generally have the item held for pickup. With handguns it’s required to go overnight or two day air and signed for, this is what I do. I’m glad they got the belt. The thieves are still thieves. I hope they stop, I’d bet they don’t.

The PRC has a drug rehab program that is 100% effective.
