Sheldon, Iowa On Tuesday we told you about a package being taken from the mailbox at a Sheldon residence. As it turns out, there was no theft, just a series of coincidences.

Greg Kavanaugh, of Sheldon was expecting to have a package delivered via the U.S. Mail on Tuesday. When he checked his mailbox there was other mail but no package. It was then that he spotted a woman carrying a package bearing the logo of the company from which Kavanaugh was expecting his package. The woman climbed into a light blue Jeep Liberty and drove away, causing Kavanaugh to believe the package she was carrying was his.

Unbeknownst to Kavanaugh, his package had been delivered to the wrong address. The residents of that address were not home, so a relative was picking up their mail for them. Thats when Kavanaugh spotted the woman with the package getting into the Jeep and driving away.

Once the mystery was unraveled, Kavanaugh got his package which, ironically, contained a video security camera.

Sheldon, Iowa A Sheldon man came within seconds of catching someone in the act of pilfering a package from his homes mailbox Tuesday.

It all happened around midday Tuesday. Sheldon resident Greg Kavanaugh was expecting a package containing merchandise that he had ordered, and had received notice that the package would be delivered via U.S. Mail today. Kavanaugh tells KIWA that his mail is normally delivered between 11:45 am and 12:15 pm. He was home today, and about noon decided to see if the mail had arrived.

Kavanaugh says when he went to check the mail there was no package, but other mail was in his mailbox. It was then that he spotted a lady carrying a box with the logo of the company from which he had ordered the merchandise. Kavanaugh says the lady promptly jumped into a light blue Jeep Liberty and sped off.

He says he thought stealing the package from his porch was a pretty gutsy move, since it was in the middle of the day, both his vehicles were in the driveway and while his homes front storm door was closed, the inside entry door was wide open.

Kavanaugh reported the theft to Sheldon Police, so if you know or see a lady who drives a light blue Jeep Liberty, please call the Sheldon Police Department at 712-324-2525, because cops want to have a little chat with her.

There is some irony to this story. The package taken from Kavanaughs mailbox contained a video security camera.
