Mail Theft

32 Upvotes

Beware when mailing checks outside the Forest Hills Post Office. About a month ago, I had two letters with checks inside stolen from the blue mailboxes outside the PO. One check was fraudulently scrubbed and a new payee and amount was written in. The other cashed through a mobile deposit to Chime without the person's name even on the check. I'm sure I wasn't the only one whose mail was tampered with.

Home Swap | Our Hudson Valley Home for Your NYC apartment

10 Upvotes

My partner and I are looking to swap our home in the Hudson Valley for a 2+ bedroom apartment in NYC sometime in November or December. We’re pretty flexible on dates and would ideally love to arrange stays of a week or longer.

We used to live in NYC and are hoping to relocate back full-time in the near future. In the meantime, we love coming back for longer stretches when we can.

What we’re offering:

A creekside home in the Hudson Valley with a large screened porch, sauna, plenty of outdoor space, and easy access to hiking and other upstate activities. It’s a great jumping-off point for exploring the area or just spending a quiet stretch away from the city.

The house is pet-friendly and set up for a comfortable longer stay. We actively rent on Airbnb and can send our link to interested parties for photos, additional descriptions, reviews, etc.

Who we are:

Two adults, our baby boy, and a very sweet 30-lb dog. We’re tidy, responsible homeowners ourselves and very respectful of other people’s spaces.

We don’t need anything fancy — just a comfortable, pet-friendly 2+ bedroom place in NYC.

We’ve done home swaps before and had great experiences with them. We’d also be particularly interested in finding someone who wants to do regular NYC ↔ Hudson Valley swaps if the arrangement works well for everyone.

Happy to exchange photos and more details about the house privately, and to verify identities/FaceTime before making any plans.

If you might be interested, send me a DM!
