Speaker 1: package thefts.

00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:10,240

5
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,200

Speaker 3: to package your gift or package in a plane box

12
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 3: something that doesn't you know, for instance, say what the

13
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 3: contents of it are or who the vendor is that's sending.

14
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:38,400
