Mailman vs. Neighbor: a suburban war

ARLINGTON, MA - 7/03/2018: Amin looking over videos and photographs about mailman in question and Heather Astaneh, with sign she made and had placed in her front windows at apartment. They have been in a very strange and very bitter battle with the US Postal service over the last three years. It began when Heather complained online about a late delivery. Since then, tensions have escalated with packages arriving late or not at all, thrown at their homes, the items inside broken. Worse, the couple says, the letter carriers have begun stalking Heather, photographing her home and following her when she goes to the bus station to pick up her husband. The couple has set up cameras in their homes, written signs asking USPS to stop. The cat's name is MOTO. (David L Ryan/Globe Staff ) SECTION: METRO TOPIC 05mailman

Heather Astaneh was livid when a package she ordered arrived late, so she wrote a complaint on the US Postal Service website. Three years later, her case is in federal court.
