other good ones are when you go to put the mail through the letter boxes and the door fly's open cos its not shut properly, I just pull it up but don't close it just in case.

had a customer a couple of years back who left their door ajar so I slipped the mail onto the carpet and carried on.

got there the next day and they asked me if the door was open when I delivered the post, I told them yes, and they told me that they had gone to London for the day and arrived back at 10pm to see the door had been left open all day long.

I just make sure door is locked and then push them through letter box - - and if that's the only set of keys they've got - hey ho ... it's when you see key rings with car keys on as well :roll:

(Never had a compliment - guess most peeps are too embarrassed to 'fess up - but I know where they live :chuckle )

Not long after starting I knocked on someones door to tell them they had left their keys in there.

"I know, mind your own f**cking business" was the response. Since then if I see any keys I just ignore them.

I've seen it a few times, but can never be bothered to interfere/pry/investigate. If the keys are in the door by way of somebody's stupidity, on their head be it. I've found that people generally have a very dismissive attitude of any (genuine) attempt at helpfulness, hence my laissez faire attitude.
