FIXES

“Apartment number 303 is currently vacant, and as a result the building owners have placed green tape over the letterbox to prevent it from filling up with advertising mail. Whenever an apartment is vacant they always tape up the letterbox with green tape.

It appears the occupants of apartment 202 have gone on an extended holiday or business trip and will be leaving the apartment vacant long enough for surplus advertising mail to become a problem. Therefore they, or the building owners, have placed white tape over the letterbox.

If the occupants taped up the letterbox themselves I think to myself “Creative thinking 202″. If the building owners did this then I wonder “Is the different color tape significant, or is it just what they had on hand on the day they taped up the box?, Does green mean vacant and white mean temporarily unoccupied? If so doesn’t this signal to potential burglars that 202 is where the goodies are?”.

This mystery remains unsolved.” – courtesy of Byron Kidd – Thanks again Byron!

“It appears big brother is watching this garbage disposal area but closer inspection reveals that the camera is a cleverly crafted replica made from a plastic bottle wrapped in black duct tape, sporting two drawing pins and with an old stereo cord added to complete the effect. I chuckle every time I pass partly at the fact that its not fooling anybody and partly at the fact that someone crafted and installed the device.” – courtesy of Byron Kidd
