A few weeks back I had an area rug shipped to the building that I suspect
was also stolen. When I complained to the store about not receiving it, I
was told that it had been shipped to the building, though I never saw it. I
always try to have my packages delivered to me at work, but that is not
always possible, and I would be in favor of installing a security camera in
the mailroom, regardless of the cost.
