FedEx did the same thing to me back in Feb. I had an adapter plate and flex plate, etc. coming from KEP for my Subaru conversion. I was home the whole day waiting for it and the doorbell never rang. Checked tracking at 5 pm and they claimed it had been left at the front door. There was an inch of fresh snow on the front walk which was undisturbed. I don't understand why a driver would steal something with no apparent use to the average person. Spent about three days making phone calls and questioning drivers, but never solved. Kennedy finally filed a claim and sent me another one. Larry A. Loren Busch wrote: > Anyone seen a Norcold DC0040 running around on the loose around Lynnwood, > Wa.?
