For 2 years, random PS5s and laptops have been arriving at my house… nobody claims them”

I have been renting the same house for the past 3 years, and starting about 2 years ago we began receiving packages addressed to the same name over and over again. Every time one arrived, I would bring it back to UPS or mark it as not belonging to anyone at this address, but within a week it would somehow end up back at our front door again.

What makes it even stranger is that the sender address is always different, but the person it’s being shipped to is always the exact same name. I tried searching the name online and couldn’t find any real person in my state connected to it.

After months of this continuing with nobody ever showing up to pick the packages up, I eventually opened them because I honestly wanted to figure out what was going on. The first two packages contained factory reset laptops that worked perfectly. After that, another package had an Xbox, and the next two contained PS5 consoles. None of them included controllers or power cords just the systems themselves.

The packages usually show up about every 3 months, and they are always expensive electronics. No one has ever come looking for them, contacted us, or tried to retrieve them. This has now been happening consistently for about 2 full years and I still have no idea why.

Has this happened to anyone else before? I genuinely cannot figure out what is going on.
