A Message from the Delivery Driver Inspired Me to Improve My Home Safety
Home Safety I’ll Always Appreciate His Help
I often ordered food delivery, and over time, Ravi, our neighborhood driver, became a familiar, friendly face. He always greeted my kids warmly. But one evening, he handed me the food quickly, avoided eye contact, and left. On the bag was a scribbled note: “Check your trash can.”
Worried, I sent the kids to wash up and stepped outside. In the trash, I found several items that clearly didn’t belong to us. My heart raced. I called the sheriff’s office immediately. Officer Leona arrived, listened carefully, and advised me to stay inside and improve home security. Sleep felt impossible.
By morning, I arranged same-day security installation. Just as the team finished, Officer Leona called with updates: the items suggested someone had been preparing to tamper with our property. Relief and gratitude washed over me—I had acted in time.
Later, I spoke with Ravi, who admitted he’d seen unfamiliar individuals near our trash cans the night before and left the note to warn me. His quick thinking likely prevented something serious.
That evening, watching our calm street on the new security monitor, I felt a sense of control returning. Ravi’s awareness, Officer Leona’s support, and the precautions I’d taken reminded me how even small acts can make a huge difference in keeping others safe.
