Noticed a wrapped Christmas gift on my porch today. Not for anyone in my house. What should I do?

[Taylor Picker]

As I was leaving for work this morning, I noticed a wrapped Christmas gift on my porch right by my front door. I typically come and go through the garage. I was in and out over the weekend and didn't see this, so I don't know when it was put there. Nor did I hear anyone knock or ring the doorbell.
So... Christmas was almost two months ago. I do have some weird extended family who might do something like leave a gift for me on my porch two months after Christmas, but it's highly unlikely. So, before driving off to work, I went to check on the package. It's the size of a large shoebox... wrapped in Santa paper... with a sticker tag that says "To Logan From Jason." I don't have a Logan in my house. It wasn't delivered through USPS or any other carrier... it was just put there by somebody.
I know some of the people on my street, but no one with a Logan. (I don't know why I'm assuming Logan is a young person.) There's no last name, of course, so I can't search the white pages. And I have neither the time nor the inclination to canvass the neighborhood to find the intended recipient.
I didn't touch the package. I just left it on my porch for now.
Most likely, it was just misdelivered... but there's more than a zero percent chance that it's something malicious... toward me... or Logan.
What should I do??

1. Hmmm. Do you have the Nextdoor AP for your neighborhood?

It’s weird but most likely someone put it there mistakenly.

3. I think so. I've never posted on it, but I'll look into that.

2. I'm torn between suggesting sticking it in the back of the garage until Logan shows up or just

calling the bomb squad.

I suppose you could just leave it where you found it until someone steals it.

[Taylor Picker]

5. I doubt Logan will show up.

I should do something with it before Thursday when we have a 100% chance of rain.

7. If it didn't have the Logan/Jason tag, I would have guessed...

someone was mad at you and left you a gift of dog poop.

4. Maybe it's a fruitcake

[Taylor Picker]

6. Maybe so...

It just gets left on various doorsteps by people trying to get rid of it?

9. In that case I'm Logan...

(I love fruitcake)

11. ''HOW TO SURVIVE - LOGAN BREAD'' 🤣

According to legend, in the 1950’s this very challenge faced an expedition team set on summiting Mount Logan. The resulting recipe, Logan Bread, meeting all desired requirements, is now referred to as the pinnacle of do-it-yourself energy bar-dom. Given its historical predecessor, known as hardtack or sea biscuits, one could claim the competition was not particularly stiff. Others counter, however, it was in fact the stiffest thing imaginable – 6 parts flour, 1 part water, and 2 parts broken teeth.

8. At the very least ...

Put it some distance from your home. It could be a prank, and you don't know what kind. Do you have, or did you have any political stickers or signs?

You're not at an airport, but ... Remember, discretion is the better part of val

10. I'm in a red state... in a small predominantly Republican community

just outside a mostly liberal college town.
I've since stopped doing stickers and signs, but I had Obama stickers and a yard sign in '08.

12. Maybe Logan is moving in and you just don't know it yet.

13. Call the bomb squad

[ificandream]

14. Call the police if you have no idea who it's from.

I would have done that first thing.

[intrepidity]

15. "Nextdoor" is perfect for this sort of thing

(as well as complaining about random people walking in their neighborhoods....weird place)

16. Maybe it's a Valentine gift?

Maybe the giver didn't have any giftwrap other than Christmas paper. (I can relate to that.)

[Taylor Picker]

18. Could be...

That almost makes it worse that gift-giver doesn't know where the recipient lives.

[Kali]

17. um...open it and see what it is

and freaking tell us!!!!

[Harker]

19. I'd suggest you treat it as potentially dangerous, and you'll be pleased

when you find out it isn't.

The wrapping paper and tag are pretty outré in February.
