    I really like this strip (and look forward to it) but the “instructions” are way too verbose and detract from the humorous dialog It’s like a bad PowerPoint slide.

    As they say, “Brevity is the soul of wit.”

    There’s also a typo in the final panel.

    They’ll probably feel bad for him and return the stuff with a gift card to Sharper Image.

    Another possibility is that the thieves will open a mail-order operation to target him to buy weird stuff they can’t sell to anyone else.

    It would also help if USPS delivered to my door (I am disabled) rather than dumping packages in public view on the parking pad for the duplex. My regular carrier understands but the Sunday carrier is lazy and/or uneducable (I don’t even WANT Sunday delivery). Theft of U.S. mail is a federal crime but, unfortunately, after privatization, investigation of such crimes became a low priority.
