“Dear PoPville,
I’d like to thank the woman who walked over in the rain to leave my HelloFresh box at my building front desk. She had refrigerated it over the weekend. All I know is she lives on the 400 block of some street in DC that is not mine. Thank you!”

I propped up the lock, but when another rider locked up their bike next to me, the ruse was exposed and the pieces fell apart on the street.
