Somebody might be trying to use me to receive dodgy stuff (Urgent-ish)

Hi, I might just be paranoid, but I like to err on the side of caution.
I've just come home this evening (Wed 17/01/2024) and I found a "Sorry
we missed you" card from Royal Mail, dated 16/124, presumably meaning
16/1/24, but it was not definitely there yesterday. They say they will
try again tomorrow (Thursday).
The estate address and the flat is right but the name of the addressee
is a guy who is:
- homeless
- known drug addict and dealer
- habitual client of the local Police force and
- whose mum lives next door.
I suspect that he wants to have something delivered to himself without
his mum knowing. He might then contact me outside the door asking if I
received something for him. He once rang my buzzer asking me to help him forcing his mother door! I know who he is but I want nothing to do with him.
So, what is the best course of action, knowing the postman will not be
there when he will try to deliver:
1) Ignore the card
2) Get the card and inform the police
3) ????
My common sense would go for 1) but you never know.
