Go to each of your neighbors’ homes. Ask for a cup of sugar. Say you are out of sugar if asked. While there, quickly scan their home for your packages. Worst case, you can’t find your packages but you end up with a few cups of sugar. This will also make your neighbors like you - people oddly like those they feel they’ve helped out.

Report back.

I’ve also walked two Amazon packages that were mis-delivered to my house to the correct address this year.

Amazon routinely delivers my packages to a neighbor across the street. Every single month, it happens at least once. I’ve actually watched them do it while I was tracking my package. Bonus points: get to know your neighbors.

Launch trampoline park in Norwood has one in the arcade section (near the laser tag area), so maybe check arcades?

I agree. The state publishes MCAS scores by school/grade level, and then by subgroup (low income, non-low income, race, gender, EL status). I can see that my child is scoring way higher than their classroom’s scaled MCAS score. I wonder what the distribution of MCAS scores is, in a given classroom.

Is this why so many products are locked behind those plastic shields now?

For the same reason jury duty is localized. We know what is normal and what is egregious in our communities. Cops should too.
