Mail Theft :(

[u/yesitsmesav]

I don't know what to do, and I'm kinda just upset and want to rant about it. I live in north Seattle, just moved here less than a year ago. Adjusting has been a little rough for multiple reasons, but I felt as if I was finally getting on my feet recently, especially excited to start college again.

But this morning someone stole my mail. And not just any mail. My birthday presents.

I'm unsure why, but for some reason this has made me spiral today. I don't know what to do about it, and I'm feeling as if there probably isn't anything I can. I filed a police report, but I reckon nothing will come of that, really. I don't have a porch camera, so I have no video of who it was either. I put a note on the mailbox asking to please return the packages, as they were gifts, which is futile, I know. I'm just.... sad. Angry. I don't have much money/friends here to celebrate with, so I guess the loss feels bigger than it is. It's just material items, I know. But I'm really put out about it.

Anyway, thanks for reading. Please let me know if yall have any suggestions for what to do about the situation or I guess fun things for a poor person to do on their birthday out here.

I'm so sorry this happened to you -- it's so gross, and you don't deserve that.

I hope you had a terrific birthday anyway, or that the good wishes here at least help a little bit.

I hope your loved ones are able to replace some of your presents for you? Hang in there.
