Yes, I hadn't thought of that. I'm surprised companies would accept PO Boxes as delivery addresses. There can't be many people who order 250 dollars worth of chocolate to a PO Box.
True. I have no idea if they would. I'd just think it'd be a smart move to have somewhere untraceable if you were being sneaky.
But I suppose criminals aren't known for being that smart.

Ugh, was perseverating all night last night, only got 3 hours of sleep.
I know the feeling, my mind wouldn't stop last night, aided by the constant tickle in my throat
Sorry to hear of your hassle Grisha, the nerve of some people.

Plus the chocolate would melt. Or is a PO Box not really a box? I have an image in my mind of a rectangular shaped metal box.

Yeah, I think they're like that. At least in my mind they are.
Hmmm. Would work maybe if you ordered something small like jewellery though.
I'll stop thinking like i'm going to steal someones credit card details now.

@Henbane - The banks don't care, it's the merchant who takes the loss, which ultimately gets passed on to consumers via higher prices. Apparently the police are rarely even notified unless you go to the trouble of filing a police report personally.

Ah ok. If you are going to turn PI please be careful. I would be sad if you became the victim of a particularly unpleasant chocolate thief.
Well they already know who I am, where I live, and my (now useless) credit card numbers, what's the difference?
Well there's a difference between being a passive victim, and an assertive person trying to find out information about them and get them prosecuted. But I'm just being daft I know.
Well I really appreciate your concern!
After I've calmed down a bit, I'm sure I'll forget about it - but I am definitely paying for things differently now...

I can understand how you feel. There are some real scumbags in the world.
