A coin that I purchased was delivered to a neighbor's house...

Here's a new one for me. The other morning, I was meeting my running group when another neighbor, who runs with a different group, approached me (in a frothy frenzy...from running) to tell me that his wife errantly opened a package addressed to me. He was very apologetic as he informed me that it contained an undisclosed coin. He dropped it at my house the same morning before going to work.
Now, if I were PerryHall, I would probably be looking to sell my house and move to an undisclosed location because now someone in the 'hood knows I collect. I am a bit more cavalier, and I think I am going to stay put.
It is interesting because we have the same house # (undisclosed), but live one street apart. I did not have the heart to tell him that I get his mail all the time and usually toss it (unless it's food or a check).
Anyway, the coin was shipped insured, delivery confirmation. If I hypothetically lived in PerryHall's 'hood and never received the coin, what would be the process for making a claim?

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
<< <i>You should get a P.O. box. >>
I have one and have had some interesting misadventures there, of late. The P.O. where I subscribed for a Box is not the same zip code in which I live but is more convenient to my house. For unknown reasons, they have taken to leaving a slip in my box and transferring the package to the P.O. in which I live for me to pick up there. I am not sure where they get the authority to do that, but it forces me to occasionally make trips to two different post offices to pick up one coin. Ain't that grand?
<< <i>Did your neighbor open it accidentally and finger it all up >>
I dont think he would have a problem with that - he likes dirty coins
<< <i>Did your neighbor open it accidentally and finger it all up
Being the nice neighbor lady that she is, she probably cleaned off all that filth and dirt and polished it to a brilliant shine.

That sucks! My P.O. Box is in a different zip as well (convenience) but they have no idea where my residence is, nor do they need to.
I did get a private mail box when I came home one night and a neighbor kid came riding up on his bike with a package under his arm that his mother signed for with over $40,000 worth of coins in it. I thanked him and to this day they have no idea what was in the box and probably don't even remember signing for it. --Jerry

I knew it would happen.
...now you know just where to go when and if another coin is a little slow showing up.
<< <i>Interesting thread that would be more interesting if we knew the value of the coin.
The invoice that came with the coin said $422.

<< <i>At least she didnt accidently open it and then accidently sell it on ebay. >>
But she did crack it out and got it upgraded.

Don't you have to give the PO a physical address to open a PO Box?

I think he was joking but with RYK you never know.

The Post Office would note they had a signature.
They would go to your house and you would deny signing.
They would ask the carrier, who might realize the mistake.
They would talk to the neighbor who would thell them he gave you the coin.
They would come back, search your house, find the coin, and arrest you.
By the way, I like my PO box. I might go so far as to say that I haven't had a problem with a coin delivery since I got a PO box, but I wouldn't want to tempt fate.

My #1 Low Ball Peace Dollar Set
wasn't bright and shiny as gold should
look like, it was old and crusty.
Years ago they used set a $5 Proof set via Registered Mail. Now they send $1,300 coins via the equivalent of parcel post. Is there any logic to this?
A few days later a 6 figure check shows up with my wifes name, ss and address on it. My wife was excited for a few hours and then depressed for weeks. A quarter million one minute and nothing the next.
About 10 times a year the post person mixes up the mail. My sisters mail carrier and ours are not the same person so the sorting must happen at the post office and in my small town they do not always use due dilligence i suppose. lol

even though insured, the maiman scanned as delivered
interesting service that we pay for, and then pay for again if we want to insure that the company we paid does not screw up
I think every service company should offer insurance in case they screw up
I would assume he has mistaken me with his adventurous pool boy
and he'd have to catch me in order to explain it was only a coin.
