A Mystery

Over the last several months, on nights when I have been up with the baby (or in labour), I have witnessed something bizarre.  At about 3am an unmarked  white truck (about the size of a Canada Post truck) pulls up to one of the duplexes across the street from us and a man gets out, pulls up the back of the truck and takes some kind of smallish package out and drops it off at the door. I couldn’t see if he left it oustide the side door or if someone was awake to receive the package.  The man comes back to the truck, drives around the block and makes another delivery at a house that I can see through the alley from my bedroom window.  The reason I noticed this truck is because it is fairly loud and we’ve been sleeping with the windows open in the summer and our street is normally pretty quiet at night.  I don’t know if the truck comes every night or every few days or what.  I’ve seen it about 4 times in the last few months and I find it all very strange.  What needs to be delivered in the middle of the night?  Milk is the only thing I could think of, but milk is usually delivered at a later hour.  And it wasn’t a mlk truck and it wasn’t jugs of milk that the driver was carrying.  It is a mystery I have yet to solve.  I don’t know what my neighbours are up to, but I’ll be watching!

    Things like that happen all the time. No, just kidding, they don’t. I think it sounds really funny… but bothersome at the same time. You might have to get your cop friend to run that guy’s license plate. Wait, this is not a Canadian cops and robbers TV show… is it? You’ll probably never know what is in the package.

    The only other thing that I know of is that my brother used to deliver papers in his area. A truck came early in the morning to deliver them and left them in a large plastic container that my brother left in front of his house. However, you have described the package as smallish - and this would not be so.

    I don’t think it was big enough to be newspapers and my neighbours don’t deliver newspapers that I know of.
