postman delivered the package or letter to the wrong house
My building has multiple boxes at the entrance in the wall. (Picture
an old movie set in NYC apartment building. Several rows and stacked.
The mailman opens the top and the apartment slots drop down about six or
so inches and the mail dropped in).
There was a mailman several years who just put mail in any slot. It
wasn't uncommon find mail for someone else in ones box. (I remember one
time not looking closely and opened someone else's mail by mistake. I resealed, wrote opened by mistake on the envelope and slipped it under
their door. I wondered why a bill collector was after me. <g>) *
People here take the mis-delivered mail to whomever, either in person
or under their door.
The current landlord has security cameras in all public areas,
requires background checks (good thing I was grandfathered in <g>)
You'd probably still pass background checks... after all, you work in security.... <G>
The company I work for only does local background checks for new hires.
At times they would send someone to parking, with the police
department doing a different check on different state/federal level.
One time at the start of the school year we had three new people show up.
I was starting my training instructions when a LT from the PD walked in
with a clip board and called people by name, looked over the paperwork
and he asked for this one person to go with him. I thought nothing much
about it, figuring they just needed more information or something.
Sometimes there were questions.
Anyway, the fella was gone a long time, I didn't want to proceed too
far along and we all took a break.
Standing around outside we saw the guy had been "cuffed and stuffed"
and in the back of a police car that was leaving.
I found out the fella had several outstanding warrants on him in
another state!
The last we heard he was a guest of the county before going back to wherever.
No one could understand, either in parking or the police department,
why someone like that would want work in security.
* Shortly after I retired I would help out here and there for either
four hours or one day. I would just wait a while to pick up my cheque, sometimes a month later.
One time I was expecting two small cheques for four hours each.
In the binder cheques are kept at this one place (where I am working weekends now) were two cheques. I picked up both envelopes, not paying attention, it was some days after the last payday. At the bank I opened
the envelopes and endorsed them but just before I got to the ATM I found
one was for a lot more than I was expecting then that one was for another person! Yikes.
I called my captain, told him what I had done and returned the cheque
where that person could pick it up. I was so glad I checked the amount
and noticed a different name on it. Never did that before, or since.
That guy had quit and moved out of town. A new cheque was cut and
sent to him.
