One evening, our usual delivery driver, Ravi, dropped off our order with a tense expression. Later, I found a note on the bag:
“CHECK YOUR TRASH CAN.” Alarmed, I rushed outside and discovered gloves, tools, and a bottle of corrosive liquid hidden in one of our bins.
I immediately called the sheriff. Deputy Leona arrived and told me not to touch anything. She explained the items matched those
used in recent break-in attempts in the area. That night, I couldn’t sleep. I scheduled security cameras for installation the next morning.
When Leona returned, she confirmed the liquid was often used to weaken locks. Just then, I spotted Ravi nearby and thanked him.
He explained he had seen suspicious men lurking near our house and left the note to warn us without drawing attention.
Thanks to Ravi’s quiet warning, we were able to act quickly and avoid a possible break-in. His courage and quick
thinking may have saved our home — and our safety. I’ll never forget how a simple handwritten note helped
protect my family. Not all heroes wear capes — some just leave a message on your dinner bag.
