That's odd, my friend came up with a very similar design for a
completely different purpose - I think it was an anonymous object
transfer system.  His was a little more involved; the boxes would be
moved around from time to time, and only one person could be in the
room with them at a time, like a bank vault.  The vault room worked as
a kind of tor-like system, decoupling who dropped off from who picked
up ;-)

Or you could just hide the objects somewhere and securely transfer the
geocoords to him.

You could accomplish your purpose much more cheaply and reasonably
well with some sealable envelopes and writing someone's name on them
and putting them in a common bin, if they didn't have a shelf...
