Wonder who owns the land…
The owners keep the gate locked tight (there was a gap at the gate at one point). I don't know exactly who they are, but I have their address. Probably an investment firm ... the building is up for lease for now. The same people bought this property and the one next to it a few years ago for a combined $5,000,000. These warehouses/trucking outfits have probably been here since the late 1940s ... they're not an eyesore, they're maintained.

I hope it stays empty for the next ten years - the parking is phenomenal!

I've been keeping the property clean, so that was my 'reward.'
Plastic sheets? Huh?

Drug smugglers use marvelous ways to disguise their goods.

I highly doubt drug smugglers would let two boxes full of product sit alone for days on end. lol

Nah, nobody like that on C-D!

That is just complete b.s. Unbelievable. Do you even think about the person who ordered that with THEIR money.

You remind me of the bozos in grade school who say "finders keepers, losers weepers."

Anyway, you're loving this negative attention so yeah.... grade school. No, Kindergarten. With an 84-yr-old father.

And I'd hate to get a hole blown through my midsection. lol

Maybe I'll just direct a junkie to them.
Sounds really childish, this entire conversation. Are you really so hard up for some "excitement"? What are the odds the packages are going to have anything in them that you're remotely interested in? I think you're just tempting fate.

I know the right thing to do is leave them alone, but there's a side of me that wants to know what's in those boxes. I doubt anybody will be looking for them, but I also don't want someone just walking around to take them.

Be honest, what would you do?
Take a picture of the labels and call Amazon. Mod cut.

Oh well, sorry your thievery didn't pay off better for you.

If someone takes boxes with something in them, and they are not addressed to them, that is called stealing. I don't steal. I might contact Amazon, although that is a pain or the police, or maybe talk to my mail delivery person to see what advice they had. I would not steal them.
