Granted, I wouldn't trust any food I randomly found in my mailbox.
But, if I were to try random food found in my mailbox, buttery pigs in a blanket with tomato sauce sounds like a pretty decent place to start.

Resident Nico Baigent told Stuff he’s been hit at least three times. “It is traumatic and I want this to stop. It’s been going on for far too long now,” he said.
Can we make this the new stair muffin? GamerGate stuck a sausage in my mailbox!
I remember a story from computer security expert Bruce Schneier about when he bought an ant farm as a child. It contained a card that you could mail in with like $2, and they would send you a vial of ants. He remarked that he found it interesting not because he could get ants mailed to him for $2, but that for $2 he could have ants mailed to anyone in the US.
Having spent time on Waiheke, I have some thoughts on this (beyond the fact that this level of neighborly trolling is 👌🏻).
I wrote them all out, and then my phone crashed before it posted. I will try again later.
For now - if this seems like a “rich liberal” problem, it’s because Waiheke is like, rich, champagne socialist (literally) central. It probably has one of the highest per capita incomes in all NZ…
They don’t eat fucking sausages in bread, on the regular. They eat rib eye steak. And caviar. And drink fine wine. Served to them by plebs who can’t even afford to rent in the island, naturally…
It's a waste of food - you obviously can't eat meat that's been out in the summer heat for who knows how long - and will be annoying if it gets oil or sauce on your mail, but if you're calling it "traumatic" you're a hysterical idiot.
If I had to hazard a guess - it seems like either leftovers from some regular community/family barbecue, or a weirdly specific troll at either local vegans, or the snobs I mention above…
I very much doubt they’re really thinking more than a couple will get eaten. But, I guess, if they get caught, they can at least use the excuse that they were being “neighborly”…
Who knows, honestly?
When I was in college, around Easter time, I used to leave little chocolates outside the doors of people who I thought could use the pick me up…
They never “caught” me, but they also didn’t respond, anonymously, in the way I thought they might… I naïvely thought it was just a nice bit of fun - people took it completely the wrong way.
All of which is to say, I kind of… Get this, even if it a fair bit weirder, and more involved, than what I was doing (well-intentioned or otherwise), lol…

Must be a vegan
It has to be to fuck with the vegan freaks, surely..?
I actually think this is an A+ prank, whoever is doing this, lol.
I was thinking the same, a buttery pig in a blanket with tomato sauce sounds pretty good and now I want one. Unfortunately, it turns out it's just a piece of bread halfway wrapped around an uncooked sausage: https://nederland.unofficialbird.com/radionz/status/1617049422147223552?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw
Boooo. That's boring.

Probably a lesson there somewhere.
Imagine if it was termites…
Or like, wood wasps. 😂
So much more devious than a glitter bomb…
SPAM PIZZA
YOU DIDN'T ORDER IT
Why the fuck would you pay for ants when they're FUCKING FREE you can just go outside or I mean look in your kitchen for fuck's sake.
And keep in mind $2 in 1970 is basically $35 today
for $1 you can have someone ship you a plastic junk from Chyna, but it'll cost you at least 4.5 to mail that junk to your next door neighbor
The phantom sausage stuffer.
Sounds like a bad 80s porno.
