If it arrived on shabbos, why did thaey waot untill sunday to advise the PD?
real-brisker: it seems that you cant read: “The family was not home over Shabbos, and just returned home this morning.” ayin shom
What was the finding? Please provide us with a followup? An innocent package or something else?
I’d be interested in whether it was an innocent package or not. We once found a bag from a non-kosher bagel shop outside our front door. We called the police, etc. only to find that our UPS guy, who had delivered two of our recent packages to someone else, bought us bagels as an apology! Poor guy! He didn’t know we kept kosher and it was an innocent gesture on his part.
