    Meter boxes all tend to have the same triangular key, the locks are all identical . .

    Very resourceful of him, be grateful ;)

    Did he leave a note to say it was in there? It would be a shame if the meter reader found it in 6 months time...

    Grateful, assuming a card was left telling you where the parcel was.
    It's nothing , not nothink.
