When I saw my daughter in law on Christmas Eve, she looked so upset. It seemed that she had ordered very special holiday gifts and was tracking them on the UPS website. They were clocked in as delivered at 3pm that day, but they were never delivered to her. We all speculated that they had been stolen off of her front stoop. She called UPS and they said they could not do anything about it until Dec. 26. The gifts were all personalized, so they would be of no use to anyone else. She thought they would be thrown in the garbage. In New York, some people had been trailing the UPS truck and stealing gifts as soon as the truck pulled away. She worried all night. She worried all day Christmas. When they went home that evening, they saw a car slowly circling their block. My son went outside and the car pulled up to him. It was an elderly lady looking for his address. She said that UPS put some boxes on her front porch and they were not hers. She had been away until that evening, but she wanted the gifts to go to their rightful owner. My daughter in law was thrilled. She gave us the gifts, personalized with our granddaughter's name, the following day and we will cherish them forever.
