What about the failure mode when the courier doesn't follow your parents instructions and leaves the package on the porch?
Now you have the code to the lockbox of the key to the house sitting on the porch where anyone who approaches can gain access to the house.
- ajoy39 9y agoThe lockbox was for the packages themselves, not for the keys to the house.
- crescentfresh 9y agoOh boy, took your comment to finally get this. I take lockbox to mean the thing you put on the front door itself to gain access to the house.
- eric_h 9y agoIt means that, too - real estate agents use the term for the little key box they use to let other agents see vacant houses. Personally I'd use the term "locker" to refer to a box placed outside in which to store packages.
- bagels 9y agoYou change the code, and a few packages get stolen just as would happen if you didn't have the box.
- em3rgent0rdr 9y agoDon't put your house key inside the lockbox!
