A handwritten message on a delivery bag led to an unsettling find in my garden. Ravi, our normal delivery person, had left a strange message: “CHECK YOUR TRASH CAN.” As a single mother, I relied on food delivery, and Ravi was always pleasant to my children. But that day, he appeared anxious, delivering our lunch without speaking. When I investigated the garbage can, I discovered gloves, tools, and a container of corrosive liquid, indicating that someone was planning to break into my home.

I quickly phoned Leona, the sheriff, who told me not to touch anything and promised to police the area. Following a restless night, I had security cameras installed. Leona later disclosed that they used the liquid to weaken locks, thereby confirming the danger. When I met Ravi again, he stated that he had spotted strange guys around my trash and had left a note to alert me. His rapid thought may have saved us. With new security in place and Leona’s assistance, I felt better, but I was still on edge, knowing the risk was not completely gone.
