Are you implying you lock your mailbox? Would that be surprising to you? I assume you might be an American - I was really surprised when I visited the US and noticed that most people use unlocked boxes located outside of their houses to get their mail. Where I live people either lock their mailboxes or they get mail through a slot in their locked door - nobody leaves their mail accessible.

No idea how this works in other places, but in the USA, messing with someone's mail or mailbox is a federal crime.

It may be a crime, but an unlocked mailbox still leaves the temptation there.

I don't trust you. Please make this open source so I can host it myself. (or even better, a desktop application for other people as well). If you don't, pretty sure somebody will do.

He uses pysnap.

Cool, so I suppose you don't use keys for your car neither. Convenient

Mine is certainly locked. Many places in Britain also just have the letter box in the front door, which I assume the parent is referencing.

My (US) house has such a slot but it has been glued shut decades ago so that nobody drops dog poop, or worse, a flaming piece of mail, into it.

Strange country. Is never even thought of anybody doing that, and I've no reason to think that I would ever draw someone's ire who would do so.

First, stealing a car or stuff out of a car isn't a federal crime. Second, I almost never lock my car, but that depends on the neighborhood.

... I would never, ever do that. A sibling, sure. But a neighbour? Hell no. If I haven't seen you get born, you sure are not getting unlimited access to where I live.

This seems sad to me. You don't have a single neighbor you'd trust with a key to your house?

Nope. I can't even trust them not to burn their apartment down. There is no way I would let them have access to mine. I don't even know most of them. That being said, I don't live somewhere where having a relation with your neighbours is common.

Older siblings and parents are right out, huh?

... it was a figure of speech. I have actually never seen anyone get born. I was talking about the sibling-like relationship you can get with people that are close to you.

Sure, if one of my close friend is also my neighbour, I would let him take care of my house. But it would be on the basis of him being my friend, not my neighbour.

Snaphax, simple PHP class that connects and uses the Snapchat API - https://github.com/tlack/snaphax Would assume snpcht.com uses it.

Actually we use this: https://github.com/martinp/pysnap

Thanks -

It's just the tokens and keys contained that really matter, I guess.

Sigh... I really wish I didn't have to restrict my self entirely to the use of phrases like "trusted entity" to avoid the excruciating minutia of debates like this.
