Undelivered Mail Ditched In Evergreen Park Alleys: Police

EVERGREEN PARK, IL — Evergreen Park police officers found themselves in the unlikely role of delivering United States Postal Service packages found in Evergreen Park alleyways. The latest spate of "found" mail follows on the heels of 19 shipping envelopes from retailers that should have been delivered to residents in Evergreen Park tossed in a trash bin in Mount Greenwood.

Around 6:30 p.m. Dec. 8, Evergreen Park police were called to the 10200 block of S. Homan Ave. for a report of found property. A resident told police she found four USPS packages in the alley next to her garage. Police said the packages were sealed and addressed to Evergreen Park residents, so officers delivered the packages to the addressees.
