Hmm...sounds good in principle, but what about the medical device shipped to me by courier, but left sitting for a few days on a neighbour's porch? The courier company had a record saying that I had signed for it, though neither my neighbour nor I had. I'm afraid that I've seen a few similar stories on the Forum about musical instruments in the USA, especially since covid began and online shopping increased. Still, you can't go through life assuming that everyone's going to mess up or take shortcuts -- just a small but significant minority.

Robert Johnson's mother, describing blues musicians:
"I never did have no trouble with him until he got big enough to be round with bigger boys and off from home. Then he used to follow all these harp blowers, mandoleen (sic) and guitar players."
