Found papers ... what to do?

Could you just put your work address as the return address?


Out of curiosity, and not that I'd necessarily rely on it, I'd heard that before about mail being refused for no return address, but I don't see in the USPS's own manual where it's required? I couldn't find anything that defines something over a certain weight as a parcel subject to "package services." http://pe.usps.com/text/dmm300/602.htm#1085528

Priority mail is required instead of first class over 13 ounces - that's where I got that part.

It's a small office, and knowing my office manager, she would not appreciate it if someone decided to trace it back to the office. And I was no-where near work when I found it on Saturday morning.

Update: I dropped it off with my insurance agent, and they are going to work with the other insurance agent to return the papers to the owner.

Coincidentally as I was running my errands a story came on the radio about car thieves stealing papers out of people's cars to get personal information -- name, address, etc. And they are usually striking when people are inside a movie theater or restaurant or something like that.

I used to white out my address from my insurance cards but have gotten lazy about it recently. Maybe time to start up again.

A friend posted a link to that on her FB wall. I commented that it's probably advantageous that DH and I both drive smaller, older, budget-minded cars. Crooks aren't likely to target us, if they assume our home and possessions match our vehicles (which, with the exception of our bikes, they do).
