The package was 100% empty (tore it apart just in case), and the tracking number doesn't match anything I've ordered within the last year.

I suppose if I expressed my confusion at this nonsensical and irrelevant question, I'd receive a dozen posts hurling abuse at me for not instantly getting it.
I'm going to challenge you to discover how "car parked outside" and "weather" may be connected.

QFT. I'm not sure if Americans or Germans are the worst at this. Postal codes are not always pure numeric. There's not always a house number. Phone numbers don't always have the same number of digits, and don't necessarily start with a
1
. Just give me some blank fields and I'll give you the information you need to route that parcel to me, and yes, you need all of it if you want that delivery to happen promptly. Stop worrying about it and just print that label already, OK?Also, email addresses don't always fit in 30 characters. Though admittedly that's a lot less common problem nowadaysβ¦

I wouldn't go quite that far in all circumstances. In an environment where you have meaningful masked edit controls, that can be pretty nice. Progress has a masked date edit control. you cannot enter an invalid date. But it also has a lot of functionality and will let you enter the minimum that creates an unambiguous date. If you're using American date style, typing "3/5" and hitting tab will autocomplete to "03/05/2016" assuming it's 2016. Need to enter that date, but for last year? "3/5/5".

As one who does not have any telepathy interfaces currently connected, I believe I can try.
After careful deliberation, I believe the closest connection between "car parked outside" and "weather" to be:
Car owner is concerned what style of shoes to wear, which depends on the state of the car parked outside and how much climate exists in traversal period for the purpose of enjoying the weather while day dreaming using imagination, possibly with a perceived loved other.

Ain't nothin' quite like when you buy a really expensive racecar part from a new vendor and the part arrives and you open the box and staring you straight in the face is a really damned obvious quality control issue.
There is a fucking grease packet stuck in the inner workings of my clutch pressure plate! Which, for those of you unfamiliar with cars, is exactly #2 on the list of places on a car you don't want grease (#1 is the brake rotors because that causes rapid onset high speed collision - whereas a greased clutch just causes failure-to-move)
The temptation to send the vendor's techline email address an email consisting entirely of "WTF?" and an attached photo was very strong, but I sent them a polite "Hello good sir, what am I supposed to do with this?" message instead.

@Weng Reminds me of the time my old man took a car back to the shop because they used Loctite on the wheel lug nut threads.
For those non-wrench-head-experienced, Loctite is basically liquid plastic used to "seal" threaded fittings. Some "colors" only break-down under significant heat. IE: basically require a flame-thrower to loosen bolts and you really don't want that shit on a lug-nut thread when you are trying to swap a doughnut on the side of the road.

@MathNerdCNU Standard blue loctite will only stop the girliest of babies from undoing a fastener. Using any of the other ones on anything intended to come apart ever under any circumstances is a war crime under the Geneva convention.

The red one is firm but not too hard.
I used it on some 3/16" and 3/8" Allens, they give up with reasonable force, no heat.

More and more they are designed by 20-something assholes, who am sure have fun pedantry over what constitutes a river: is it blue water? does it have to be long and narrow? is the picture from a painting of river a river? if not how many recursions are allowed in the search tree? do you get to test it with normal humans (i.e. not software engineers)? nope
