Note left by the delivery guy changed my life

Having to balance work, the housework, and taking care of my children, I sometimes feel too overwhelmed and too tired to be able to cook for the family, so it’s not unusual that I sometimes skip preparing dinner and rely on takeout.

Over time, we and our delivery guy, Ravi, became sort of friends.

However, during his last visit, he didn’t seem like he’s usual self. Instead of the friendly greeting I was used to, he didn’t really say anything except for one shy “Hi.”

I found that strange, but I just though he had a bad day or something, so I didn’t say anything.

What was even more strange was the way he hurried when I took the order. It was obvious Ravi was pretty nervous, and I had no idea why. Did it have something to do with my family? Who knew.

But just as I tried getting the food out of the bags, I noticed a note written on one of them. It read, “Check your trash!”

At that very moment, I got scared. Was there something that Ravi knew and I didn’t?

I was hesitant to even open the trash can, but then I finally gathered the courage and what I found inside shook my world — gloves, tools, and a bottle of corrosive liquid.

I alerted the police, who told me not to touch anything until they arrived.

Well, it turned out that the liquid was used to weaken the locks of my house. Someone was planning to rob us.

The following day, we set up cameras. I was still very scared, but thankful to Ravi who warned us about the possible danger.

A couple of days later, I met him while walking around the neighborhood. “Ravi, can I talk to you for a second?” I said.

He approached, but it felt like he was afraid of me. “How did you know we were in danger?” I asked. He then told me he had seen some suspicious people lurking around the house and the trash can.

“You may have saved my family,” I told him.

Cameras or not, I knew we weren’t out of danger. Watching the monitor night after night, a knot of fear sat beside my gratitude — at least we were warned.
