A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.
Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.

All approvals will be noted and included in planning. Unapproved, or surprise exceptions, will result in guests being asked to leave.
