Helping the courier karma
OK, this is a little bit mischievous, but I cannot be the only one sick to death with courier parcels being stolen left, right and centre, especially at this time of the year.
So, how about a little bit of payback to the actual thief?
Yes?
OK - here we go.
Open a courier box (or use an old one you have kept), empty it and then fill the used box up with your pets 'little brown treasures' you know what I mean, kitty litter, the dog's bombs from the back yard, your guinea pig's stuff from his cage - anything that is nasty.
Seal that box back up very carefully - making sure your name & address is not on the box - put a fake one if you have to (so there are no returns).
Then put it on your letterbox or the ground or by your front door, wherever it can easily be seen.
Someone will steal it.
Trust me, they will be doing you a huge favour by taking away this stuff and karma will be so beautiful to watch

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑
Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.
