this is called entrapment. besides how do you prove the person wasn't gonna return it to the rightful owner. there are still some honest people in this world.

How big of a PO? If it is a city sized, 5-10min, if it is rural, then it might get turned in to the postmaster.

Actually no it isn't entrapment. You are merely leaving an item there, you aren't forcing someone to steal it. It's no different than the show I watched the other night where police staged an argument between a guy and girl then left the girl's running vehicle parked near some young thugs. The kids did as expected and stole the vehicle. |

BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZT! WRONG! Entrapment would be an officer going up to a guy who is a known robber and pestering him again and again finally enticing him to commit a specific crime. Unattended in no way coerces someone to commit an act, thus not entrapment. |

Dude! You have way too much time on your hands!
Be sure to post pics!  I say ten minutes, tops. Assuming it is stolen, and not just placed into the drop by some nice person.

I say 7-9 minutes just to be different.
It sound like a good experiment. Tag. Oh, add a note to Rolex inside to explain why they got a rock. Also when you set it there, don't dress like a terrorist.

A rock? Thats the best you can think to put in there? I bet you can come up with better, and let him take it home and open it up to see what he got.
Pics are a must for the pick up. |

I'm open for suggestions. Address will be a fake but it can't be anything dangerous in case it does get dropped in the box due to the fact that a postal employee might have to open it. |

There was a standing joke in New York City during one of its many Sanitations Strikes in the 1960’s- early 70’s on how to get rid of your garbage.
Get a box and fill it with whatever you have to throw out. Wrap it up very nicely in gift wrap, ribbons and all. Set it down on a park bench or its equivalent. Leave. Minutes later the box and the garbage inside will be gone. |

I left my Seadweller on the bed of a hotel room. I ran back when I realized that I did have it on. When I ran into the room, the watch was on the dresser. I found the housekeeper, she couldnt speak a lick of english. Gave her a $20. She knew what it was for.

This reminds me of something I did once when I was a teenager.
One saturday night, me and a friend concocted a plan based around a gift wrapped box of crap(the stinky, brown kind). We left it in a fairly busy intersection where we knew it would be picked up and someone did. Long story short- there was a lot of swerving and screeching brakes followed by our "package" sailing out the window. If only they had video cameras back then. ETA: Are Rolex's valuable or something? I see guys selling them for $30 a pop at the flea market. |

Not flower. Flour. This small distinction will make a HUGE difference in the outcome. Course, its probably pretty illegal to do that. But hey, anything thats fun will either kill ya or put ya in jail so fuck it. Live on the edge.

Around Christmas one year when I was a teenager someone put a giftwrapped box in the street with fishing line attached to it. The line ran back to the hiding place of some jokers. My friends saw to box and stopped to grab it. When they reached for the box, it moved several feet away. My friends hopped back in their car, did a u-turn, and drove over the box

The box won't have postage on it. If some HONEST person drops it in the box it will be going nowhere. At that point it may be opened by an employee seeking information on the owner. |

Use a packing slip and one on the pocket holders that displays it for the address, that will keep the box from being opend |

Fuck it.
Find a big ass snake and stick him in there. Preferably something with a bad disposition. A water moccasin comes to mind. That'll make whoever opens it shit little green apples. Or, if you want to be a bit more friendly to the box opener, maybe a dove or two.

Didn't plan on using a valid return address or claiming the box. Regardless, when you do things like this you have to make sure that nobody innocent can get screwed over. So random "suprises" really aren't an option. I don't mind photographing some fuckstick thief but the contents have to be benign. A note won't hurt or scare anyone if they happen to be innocent. |

Careful. In the current political climate of the country and in particular, South Florida, it could be trouble. We usually get about 2 calls a week in Tallahassee for suspicious packages left at post office mailboxes, usually from old people who religiously follow other peoples activities and feel that a package left at a mailbox because it doesn't fit inside is automatically a bomb.

You know what SA....it might surprise you.
Similar story, about 15 years ago I was single and an old girlfriend had come back into town for a few days to visit her family. We had a very physical relationship and over the 2-3 days we hooked up on several occasions. Anyway the last night she was in town I met her at a bar and took my camera (a 35mm Canon SLR) to get some last pictures. I absent-mindedly left my camera and keys on the hood of my car while we took her car to go make out somewhere. DOH! I didn't even think about it until about 3 hours when she dropped me off and I noticed the camera and car kets were still sitting there.  Now...granted this was YEARS ago and it wasn't Miami but I was still pretty damned shocked as this wasn't the greatest neighborhood and it right outside a bar. And 'yes' it still probably would have been worth it.

Good idea. Have some bags or boxes of junk and exit from a mall, dropping it on a sidewalk "without noticing" it, then observe and report. |

One I have always wanted to do was call Dewalt and get a large collection of their boxes, weight them up about right, and leave them in the back of a truck and see what happens in diffrent places.

The time it takes to get stolen all depends on the people in the neighborhood.
I have a feeling that it would get stolen just as fast in some uppity neighborhoods as it would in some lower class neighborhoods. |

The way I've heard it, it would involve enticing him to do something he is not inclined already to do -- pretty close to what you describe, though a known robber would already be inclined to commit another crime. |

What would be handy is a phone number underneath the return address or on the mailing label, to see if the person picking it up tries to contact that number in order to return the box. If the announcement on the voicemail / answering machine were to left them know they were owned, so much the better.........
