I got a package with no name (not even an IHD identity).  Can't read the town but its in Ca so I'll keep trying.  It says "do not open till...."  and I won't.  But somehow I'll figure out what's in it.  Maybe I could have an ultra sound on it... but help me figure out who lives in a town that starts with a Y in California.  Be easier to figure what it is if I know who sent it.  Would the zip code help?  Come on people.. give me some clues.
