*** S.O.S. ***
I can't seem to progress so I reluctantly took a peep at a walkthru.
I wonder whether I've run into a dead end here ??

One walkthru says (about ½ way down ..... I think I've got further than that in the game!!)
<<< "Now you must make friends with Weird Ed. ................................. First, you must position one of the people outside by the mailbox to ensure that you get the package before Ed does (when the front door bell rings)." >>>

But the bell rang ages ago ... Ed got his package & I stole several items from his room.
Can I get him to go for ANOTHER parcel ?? And if so, HOW ??? ((So that I can "make friends with him"))
*** Or do I have to replay a bit over half the game almost from the beginning?
..... i.e. a dead end ??***

IF ANYBODY CAN CORRECT ME AND SHOW HOW THIS IS **NOT** A DEAD-END ... PLEASE DO SO (ASAP) !
Thanks in advance !
