A Note from the Delivery Guy Made Me Install Security Cameras Around My House – I’ll Forever Be Grateful to Him
Sometimes, the smallest gestures can spark the biggest changes. That was exactly the case when a simple note from my delivery guy led me to do something I had been putting off for years: installing security cameras around my home. Looking back now, I realize just how grateful I am for that nudge.
The Note That Changed Everything
It started as a regular day. I had ordered a few packages online, as many of us do, and was busy with work and daily errands. When I came home, I noticed a small handwritten note tucked in my mailbox. It read something along the lines of:
“Hey, just a heads-up—your packages are often left out in the open. I’ve seen some suspicious activity around the neighborhood. Stay safe!”
At first, I laughed it off. “No big deal,” I thought. But the delivery guy wasn’t just making a casual comment—he genuinely cared about the safety of the people on his route.
Realizing the Risks
I started paying closer attention. Sure enough, I noticed that some packages were left on the porch long after delivery, and occasionally, I spotted strangers lingering near my house. It was a wake-up call. I had always assumed nothing would happen to my home, but this note made me face a hard truth: accidents, thefts, or worse can happen to anyone.
Taking Action: Installing Security Cameras
The very next weekend, I took the plunge. I installed a combination of indoor and outdoor security cameras. The process was easier than I expected, and soon, I had full coverage of my property.
Front and back doors: To monitor any visitors or deliveries.
Driveway and backyard: To keep an eye on vehicles and any unusual activity.
Indoors: For peace of mind when I was away.
The Benefits I Didn’t Expect
Installing security cameras did more than just protect my belongings—it brought a sense of peace I hadn’t realized I was missing.
I could check deliveries in real-time and ensure packages were safe.
I felt safer leaving the house knowing I could monitor my property anytime.
It encouraged me to be more aware of my surroundings, which improved overall neighborhood safety.
Even better, the cameras have already caught a couple of minor incidents, giving me proof and reassurance that my home is now much more secure.
Gratitude for a Simple Gesture
