• Cybill Moore of Weatherford, Texas, was puzzled by the large basket of men's dirty laundry left on her front porch, along with a bag of laundry soap and dryer sheets, on March 26.

That's when a strange man showed up at the door saying he meant to drop the laundry four houses down, where he pays a woman to clean his clothes.

"This is not uncommon in new buildings," he said, "and we will resolve it." [NBC New York, 4/3/2021]
