I believe every word of it....
in 2005, when Wilma passed through S. Florida, I was awaiting an iPod from AmEx, from points.
Well, I never got it, and UPS listed it as "left at front door," on the day Wilma passed through!

Now, who in their right mind would leave a small box like that, with 70+MPH winds rocking around,
I have no idea - I figured maybe he left it at the wrong address, and they were enjoying a new iPod!
