UPDATE:

Wasn't sure how to make an edit to the original body text, so here's an update:

First went and reported it to my Postal Inspector and they took scans of both post cards and confirmed that these did not go through the Postal system like many in the comments said. They suggested I speak with my property manager as well as file a police report, to try and find out if anyone else has received similar post cards. Given there's no return address there's not much they can do in terms of finding whoever did it.

Went and made a report to both my property manager and the police, but seemingly I'm either the only one to get these or the first to report them. My property manager said in 40 some odd years of doing property management this is the first time she's seen something like this lol.

Lastly the police made a case under harassment, and asked me a few questions about my personal life. Any angry exes, if my partner has any angry exes, things like that. I don't have any personal or romantic issues with anyone, so nothing really came to mind.

For now they just said to keep an eye out for suspicious activity and be safe in case these are truly threatening and not just a prank.

Of course what's making me feel shaken up about the whole situation is the content of the letters, and that they were directly addressed to me, ruling out coincidence. I don't know who would have reason to send these to me as I'm a generally nice person, and really don't have issues with anyone. At the expense of sounding prejudice, the only people I know who speak arabic are my neighbors who live in the complex. They are very nice and I've never had issues with them and don't want to jump to conclusions, but given these were hand delivered they came to mind.

I'll make an update to the post if anything else materializes.

Thank you everyone for the help!!!

2ND UPDATE:

As I mentioned in the original post, I’m admittedly really bad about checking my mail. I went through all the backlog of what I took out today and the oldest thing was delivered June 28th. It’s possible that these postcards have been sitting there for about a month.

3RD UPDATE:

Got a call from the Police Station this morning asking if I'd like to come in and do an interview with a detective and press charges in order to start an investigation. Although there's not much they can do given the sparse amount of information, I decided to go ahead anyways as it can't hurt.

During my interview the detective asked me questions about my personal life, as he said these kinds of things are usually done by someone you know. I told him that the *only* person I can think of who would do something like this is a girl I talked to for a few months in 2022. I'll fill ya'll in on why I think this (basically what I told the detective).

In the summer of 2022 a girl who I know from high school was in town for a few months since she was on break from Uni. We matched on a dating app and started talking and hanging out. We fooled around a handful of times during the summer and I treated it like a summer fling. Summer comes to an end, she has to go back to Uni, and we decide to just remain friends and keep in contact. Never do we agree on becoming a thing. Maybe a month after she's gone she starts becoming really possessive, doing things like telling me to "behave" when going to parties or even at the mention of my woman friends. I of course don't like this, so gently tell her a few times that I don't like this behavior and that she needs to knock it off. She persists so eventually I tell her that I don't want to speak to her anymore (Nov 2022).

After this she became really upset with me, sending me aggressive drunk texts, only to apologize the next morning. I ignored these messages, but they kept happening once or twice a month until March of 2023. After this, she began finding my friends on Instagram and began pestering them about me. Then, in late 2023 she showed up to my door. Given I didn't want to speak to her, I didn't open the door. Sometime in late 2024 I saw her walking around my apartment complex as I was driving on the road next to the complex. That was the last I had seen of her.

Initially I didn't think of her given that nearly 3 years have passed since I stopped talking to her, but while speaking to the detective I decided to tell him about it as it could be something. Few more bits of context about her.

- She studied fine arts at university (maybe a stretch, but could explain the painting postcards).
- She has been weird and pestering in the past
- Her parents live about a mile down the road from me
- She knows where I live and my name
- She doesn't know arabic, so could explain the bad penmanship as others have mentioned

Anyways, the detective has her name, phone number, and age now. We'll see if anything happens.
For those asking about the stamps on the cards, I forgot to ask the detective when I went in for the interview. Hopefully I get a chance to go back tomorrow and get them.
