a pet stroller, so that he could come along when I walk the

Personally, I think Lucas is right.

Back when I was working at a branch of the DMV, I was served
with papers demanding payment for a debt for an individual who
supposedly "lived" in my office (it said place of residence was
the office address).
I called the collection agency, and I could tell that the
receptionist thought I was lying and trying to get out of paying
the debt. (She was polite, but the disbelief was there). She put
me through to the person in charge of the account. That woman
explained politely that she had to verify what I was saying. No
problem. I was on hold for less than a minute while she googled
the address, and then she came back on, apologizing. Again, not
a problem.
Now, there was also a Chinese restaurant two doors down in the
strip mall. We did have employees of the restaurant who wanted
to use the restaurant address for their driver's license and ID
cards. But in my state, the law is extremely specific. It must
be a residential address. At my branch, we would not allow it. A
month goes by, and we start receiving driver's licenses and IDs
for people with Asian names, supposedly living in our office.
The street numbers for the DMV branch and the restaurant were
extremely similar (one ended in 56, and the other in 65), and
all these applicants had gone to a different DMV office and
attempted to use the restaurant address as their place of
residence, but they messed it up and gave the DMV street number
instead. (The other DMV was over 20 miles away and didn't
realize). It ended up in our Investigators suspending all
licenses and IDs using DMV or restaurant address until they
furnished a true residential address they could prove (utility
bills, etc). It turned into a major scandal for the restaurant
because the Investigators found the staff defrosting frozen
chicken by laying it on wooden pallets in the sun next to the
dumpster.
Anyway, I did warn the bill collection agency that since the
person they were trying to serve had a Chinese name, they might
want to check out the restaurant, but that they needed to work
fast, because the health department was trying to shut them down
permanently.
