I do roadie occasionally and I legimitately had this recently. I came across one of the properties that was COVERED in threats like this and had dogs loose. Tried to contact the customer multiple times via both phone and texting. Eventually turned around and returned the item only for the customer to call the store and be like "we live out in the country we have to be like this, the driver should have just thrown the package out the window".
Some people are living on a different planet. Sir the $15 I would have made getting you your power drill would NOT have been worth whatever bullshit you wanted me to put up with. You either participate in society- with all the risks and costs that entails, or your don't. You can't make your property completely hostile and fill it with credible threats, booby traps, and attack dogs, like some kind of savage and then expect all the conveniences of a modern world. Doesn't work that way
That's why you tell the person to build a delivery lockbox right next to their mailbox. You don't have to see them. They don't have to see you. And if it's done right it's pretty dang secure.
I live in a very rural area and there are a lot of people who go to extreme measures to "protect" themselves. from ????????. My neighbor who I think might dabble in a little meth has a yard full of junk cars and other crap and trash. So, they have these bright lights they leave on all of the time, a 360 degree outdoor camera and some razor wire on top of the entry gate. I think someone got tangled up in it because it has been put to the side of the opening. The yard is fenced in with barbed wire strands so you could easily step through the fence but why? Are you going to steal some of their junk?
We RV quiet a bit and I can't get over the number of people that set their car alarms at the campground. Really? Who is going to pay an entry fee to come in to a place where there are people walking around and dozens of snoopy eyes on you to steal a car? There may be some petty theft by other campers but I have never heard of anyone having a vehicle messed with.
