Where is Scooby Doo when you need him?

Ever since I moved into my current residence, one year and 4 months ago, I've continued to receive mail for the previous owners. It's really annoying because they recieve a.lot.of.mail.

You kind of accept that you are going to be getting some misplaced mail when you first move somewhere because even with forwarding notices and notifying the mailman, you are still going to have some slip-ups. But we are talking, I receive something for one of them (there appears to have been a father, a mother and a son) every.single.day.

Important stuff, too. Like tax information and what appear to be checks. College registration information and DMV notices. And I have no forwarding info for them. Do these people not realize they aren't getting their mail? Where have they gone to that they no longer need their W2's?

So last month, when opening my own litany of Christmas cards (thank you homegirls, I love getting things in the mail that aren't bills!), I opened one of theirs by mistake. Ok, it wasn't a mistake, I was just curious who was sending them a Christmas card for the SECOND Christmas that they no longer live here. Shhh, it's a federal offense, you know.

It was signed Grandma. They didn't tell Grandma they moved?! Are they in the witness protection program or something? Should I be keeping my eye out for a prison break in case someone in my house was once a stoolie? Should I be worried that I could be mistaken for Mrs. Martin and get taken out by the mob while I'm driving home from WinCo?

Or maybe Grandma Pearl is a real pain in the ass and they didn't want her to track them down. She didn't include any money in the card, and that's not good Grandma etiquette.

It's a mystery.

HA! Do any of these people have return addresses? I would consider writing Grandma and letting her know. Poor woman.
