judecorpI SOLVED THE MYSTERY.
I went down to the door of the house and rang his doorbell. He came out to the porch and I asked him if he had a minute for me to ask him a question. He invited me up; I introduced myself.
I asked if he'd found any of my mail, and he said no. We talked a little bit about the guy that just moved out, and he said that maybe he'd taken my mail (there is drama). I said that I was specifically looking for internet rental movies, and that I'd gotten two yesterday but only one made it up. He asked if it was in a red pouch. YES! I said. He said that there were two movies - one for me and one for him. I said, "I'm pretty sure they were both for me." He said he thought he'd thrown it out, and went to his kitchen trash.
AND THERE WAS MY MOVIE, UNDER THE LAUNDRY DETERGENT!
He didn't have his glasses on, he says. He thought it was addressed to him, he says. But the movie has been retrieved. Case closed.
