I freaking live in Mayberry...

You know, with Aunt Bea, Opie, et al...

A few days ago Josh went to the Canada Post site and arranged to have the keys changed on our superbox. (For those of you that don't know, the area that we will be living in doesn't have door to door mail delivery, but instead it's dropped off in a giant mailbox across the street).

Anyways, they said that in order to get the new keys we have to show proof of ownership and give them the papers. Fine, that makes sense. We were told that we would get the new keys today and we were just waiting for the call. Well, something funny happened on the way to the forum...

Josh got the call today that the keys were ready, but instead of having to show any proof that we actually owned the house, they quaintly (and stupidly) told us that they placed the keys under the welcome mat. Umm, yeah.

So, basically anyone could claim they were us and could have the locks changed?! I think an email is in order...

...and this is why I still love Canada Post.
