We received this grateful email from the victim on 4/24 —
Just wanted to say that I am the person whose packages were taken but must mention some very good East Falls residents found the open packages and returned them to my porch so if it weren’t for them we may not have found our packages. They also posted that they found them on the East Falls Facebook page which is how we learned about it. I am sure you get your crime reports from the police but thought to mention the good a nice couple walking their dog did for us.
