For what it's worth, I usually put misdelivered mail back out for the carrier without scribbling on it. Only if a piece seems to be particularly aggressive in reaching me do I take stronger action.
I used to live in a house with the same number as an apartment building one block over. I got lots of misdelivered mail, and always wondered how much of my mail was going into a black hole. I think apartment-dwellers are more likely to leave a mistaken delivery for someone else to deal with; in a house there is no one else, so you just handle it.
IIRC, the house on Hollins is split into three apartments (I'm not certain). So yeah, nobody might be bothering to deal with it. OTOH, maybe they've been sending it back without writing on it so I've just never noticed. I don't know. (But there's still that missing card...)
