DEAR CAROLYN: When I married my husband, I knew we both had pieces of ourselves under lock and key. I used to be a staunch defender that we are all allowed a private room in our minds, so to speak,… ...

The lockbox I purchased has three unique modes: Lockbox Only, Standard Timed, and Fortress Mode. Lockbox Only simply locks items away, and anyone can open the box with the push of a button.

I know my husband has a similar lockbox — he never told me about running away for quite a while as a teenager. We are both damaged goods in many ways.

Package theft may seem like a modern problem, but it has a centuries-old solution.

Dropping the lockbox is a simple thing to do, but it also reaffirms an agent’s standing with buyers and sellers.
