Today I noticed... People get too involved

As I was cruising through social media today, I noticed that a lot of people really get involved in social media a lot more than I do.

Somebody had posted a photo of a person getting into a vehicle and reported that the person had parked across the street from an acquaintance's house, got out of their vehicle and walked across to the front porch with a package. Then, took a photo of the package on the porch, picked up the package, and went back to their vehicle A detailed description was made of the person and her actions.  

Then, the 'reporter' said she got out of her own car and asked the suspicious person if she wanted the package taken inside to the homeowner. The package was turned over to the 'reporter' and the person drove away.

The whole incident seems rather odd to me. Why would anybody take such actions with a package? Why would they, then, turn the package over to a stranger who claimed the package would be given to the homeowner? What really was going on there? I don't even know why I paused and read the post. However, even with all the questions that came to my mind did not comment but I certainly was in the minority.

Folks made suggestions about sending the photo to the police. They made suggestions about telling the homeowner to report the incident to the police, to the proper shipping company, to the product seller, and all sorts of reporting.

A couple of folks posted their own bizarre interactions with an unusual delivery situation - tales which had nothing to do with this incident and were nothing like the incident.

As I am reflecting on what I read, trying to decide what I might do, I just keep shaking my head. Many of these people were perfect strangers to the delivery person, the homeowner, and probably even the 'reporter.' Yet, they felt they should offer suggestions, advice, and their own tales of woe. While, it made for interesting reading and I did just sit and shake my head for a few minutes, I also wonder just what it is that made people get so involved in something that was not even their own issue.
