i've tried to go several times, but no one's there... i agree, though, that
that is the first step... but It wouldn't have been a big deal if:

1. The person accepted the package, knowing that he/she is usually around
   and was willing to take on the responsibility of getting it to me ASAP
   considering it came FedEx.  I've been home all day today, and I'm always
   home in the evening.  I don't even have a note on my door from them.

2. He/She noticed (and he/she SHOULD have) that there *IS* a "Torimoto"
   in the complex/building, considering that the aapproximately
   2' X 2'-sized mailboxes are less than 2 feet to the left of their door,
   and that *MY* mail box is the ONLY one with my last name and apartment
   number on it (because I was the only one who bothered to label it).  My
   label also obviously stands out on the box...

3. If the package wasn't important.  But considering it was delivered FedEx,
    and was first deliverd on Wednesday, then tried on Thursday, (with the
    residents not being home both days) and then finally 
    receiving it on Friday, just *MAYBE* they could have thought it was
    important?  By that time, 3 days later, don't ya think they COULD have
   checked the mailboxes to see if there was a Torimoto (which was probably
   on the FedEx "it was delivered" paper on their doorknob?)?

I might do that...

FedEx is already looking into it.  I also found out that the package only had
3329 and no apartment letter (which could be anything from A to H, with my
apartment being H), but the FedEx guy (consistently) tried to deliver to A
for some unknown reason.. you'd think that the FedEx guy, after 3 days, would
check with the leasing office (or look at the mailboxes) to see where
Torimoto lives, instead of assuming I live in apartment A... *shrug*

I'm going to stop by once more late tonight at A, and if he/she is not
there, or if he/she decided to open and use my package, then I'm going to have 
to find some kind of prosecuting... at least for "forging" my name, *WHIC*,
by the way, they misspelled (they signed TOROMOTO instead of TORIMOTO.
How stupid.
