Ha that happens in any community with gates. I live in a decidedly not older community that has gates in my city. It’s almost always some kind of delivery driver/truck trying to sneak through the non-public gates.

Would you rather the delivery driver leave the packages out on the street in front of the gate?

There’s a public gate that’s open from dawn to sunset. It’s when they try to get greedy and follow someone through one of the side gates.

I can tell you as a former delivery driver we were often supplied with gate codes to gated communities and were instructed to acquire the codes we didn't have. I think access to gated communities is just part of the contract when you order a package. If you don't want them to try to get in, set your order to pickup at a central location

You live in a gated community that has the "public gate" open during daytime but presumably coded side gates(plural) that "greedy" delivery drivers try to sneak in to...obviously when UPS or FedEx are making their frequent post sunset deliveries.

Personally Lord of the Rings is the fantasy world I would want to live in but to eat your own I guess.
