How much do you want to mess with a guy who knows where you live over 75 dollars worth of wood? Seems awfully short sighted to me if he is a sleaze. This is also why I always wear my sidearm very prominently when I get wood, or for that matter, anything delivered to my house.

Coming to fix the sink? I'll be standing in the bathroom doorway watching with my phone in one hand taking photos and the other a short twitch away from my .38.

While I agree completely with your initial point, I hope you're exaggerating on the latter. They offer medication for paranoia.

Don't sweat the little stuff. Life's short. Have a beer.

Don't know if it's been said but I dealt with it by placing an order from neighbors computer and when the scum showed up I gave him the choice of leaving the wood or waiting for the county deputies. Needless to say, I got my wood
 
Considering this has been brought back from 1.5 years ago, and with the direction some recent posts are going, I just don't see there being anything more that can constructively be added to this conversation.

Closing things down.
