Florida Woman Called 911 After A Body Was Laying Next To Her Package

A mother of four in Lehigh Acres is warning others about a mysterious incident that happened after she received her package. She noticed a body laying next to her package on her delivery notification photo.

The woman who wants to remain anonymous  says “When I opened the notification, I noticed at the very top corner of the picture were the legs and like, oddly, he placed the package right by the sidewalk. It was just something that just went to my mind. Like, oh my god he’s right next to my kid’s window and stuff like that, and they were sleeping in the living room that night.”

By the time the woman looked outside the person was gone. She reached out to the Lee County Sheriffs office and reported the incident. She says police couldn’t do much of a report because nothing was stolen or damaged. This mysterious incident has left people in her neighborhood worried.

The woman says she’s not sure if the person was homeless, drunk or a missing family member. I know what you’re thinking? Why didn’t the delivery driver report the incident? He or she may have and Amazon Is currently is investigating. Since then, this homeowner has bought four cameras so she can catch the person trespassing on her property.


Ranking The Sarasota Publix Stores From First To Worst

It's not hard to find a Sarasota Publix. It seems like you're never more than a few minutes away from a store. From the Publix on Longboat Key, to the store all the way over at Bee Ridge. But there's one thing we Publix shoppers all have in common. We all have a favorite.

Why is that? It's a grocery store chain, shouldn't all the stores be essentially the same? That would make sense, but we know it's not true. I'm a huge fan of the Chicken Tender Pub Sub. But I know the spot I want to go to get it. Would another store make it as good? Maybe not, I'm not risking it. And maybe you're the type that doesn't go to your closest Publix because you prefer the fancy one. People do have opinions on this.

Like, why is the Publix on Tamiami and 10th Street in Sarasota ranked so much lower than the one down the street at Bay Street and 41. Is it because of the Taco Bell next door?

How I Created the Ranking of Publix stores in Sarasota:

For whatever reason, Sarasota, Florida residents have a favorite Publix. So let's rank 'em. All 17 of them. Let the people's voice be heard! We used Google reviews to rank the stores. When stores have the same rating, the one with the most ratings is on top. If a LOT of people are going on google to rank a grocery store, they must be doing something right. Also, if you're heading down to Fort Myers and need to pick up some things, here's their rankings. If I missed a store, let me know.

4840 S Tamiami Trail, Sarasota, FL 34231

Rating: 4.5

They added that fancy upstairs dining area on the remodel. Some of the negative reviews could be as they work out the kinks to the new design.

17. Publix Super Market at Broadway Promenade

1044 N Tamiami Trail, Sarasota, FL 34236

Rating: 4.3

Number of Reviews: 1,207

One negative reviewer remarked "The chicken tenders are way over cooked almost impossible to eat." That'd be a deal breaker for me, too.
