office, which is well over a mile away and hard to park by.

Not used that but I'm thinking about building something huge out of
waterproof plywood board that works a bit like the bank safety deposit
chute / US street post box with a swing door that obstructs direct
physical entry to an area below where the posted item falls and
eventually rests.

Look at clothing recycling points - at least those around here - which
have a flap/slot/thingy to prevent removal of stuff once it has been
deposited. Might supply an idea or two.

Hypothyroidism is a seriously debilitating condition with an insidious
onset.
Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed.
