[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1713895, member: 26302"]I agree a UPS guys staying around more than a few seconds is unusual. Unfortunately robberies of coin stores are more and more common. I have a couple around here I have rarely went in to, and both have two sets of doors. The first you walk in to a holding area, and from there they will buzz you in. Makes a person sad that such precautions are needed in the US nowadays. Reminds me of when I was in Saudi Arabia.
