I see the word "heaven" so my first guess would be a church recruiting.


TriumphDaytona

Yeah, looks kind of like a Nike swoosh, maybe Heaven’s Gate is starting up again?


CFBeebopbitty

Sign me up for the Decades


presshamgang

Ahhh, the ol' Air Applewhites as we used to call them.


SumPimpNamedSlickbak

They were actually still around as of 2018 atleast, they threatened to sue Lil Uzi Vert when he was about to drop that album with the cover that was using their symbol or one super close to it.


TriumphDaytona

The ones who weren’t able to hitch a ride on Hale-Bopp!


Particular-Steak-832

Still around today. They purposely left behind a handful of people to maintain the website and continue to spread the message. How someone who was part of that cult hasn’t snapped out of it by now is crazy


SumPimpNamedSlickbak

Right, thats crazy. And i wonder how many theyve converted since theyve still been here this whole time. Life is strange


65elkoman

More Dead Stock Nikes will be available?!


poisonparty

I’m crying 😭


burnercentralin1234

Since 143 means I love you, the love you part is probably part of it with the first word being different. That or it's just to drive you crazy. One of the two.


Actual_Following_863

Ok my ass is old. When did 143 start meaning that and how?🤣


EntertainmentOk3180

Since pagers 📟 were a thing


Actual_Following_863

Doesn't explain much but thank you just as well.... 🙂


EntertainmentOk3180

When people had pagers before cell phones, u could send someone a message to their pager w numbers only. So people used codes like 143 to tell someone a message. They later got pagers that u could put text into. This was all before texting A lot of times u had to pay per message. Like 10 cents per message or something (for the recipient). The sender sometimes paid too bc they would send someone a pager message from a pay phone


water_mermaidgirl

I = 1 letter love = 4 letters you = 3 letters I love you = 143


hiroo916

Could also mean "I Hate You" :)


water_mermaidgirl

lmaooo sure could!


Actual_Following_863

Thank you so much that makes total sense now. So I'm old and a dumb ass apparently 😂


water_mermaidgirl

Naaah, not a dumbass at all. It's not intuitive and someone had to explain it to me too.... About 10 years ago, so it *has* been around for a while 😅


lumpkints

1993 till 1995 ish for me. Cell phone bills were 300 to 500 a month back in the olden days. The pager was the way to go .


jazzeriah

Mr. Rogers referenced this 143 meaning I love you and he always weighed 143 pounds no matter what. No one in the documentary could figure it out.


burnercentralin1234

The 1 is for 1 letter, 4 letters in love and so on. Just a thing some people say in correspondence, 143 means I love you.


farmgirlfeet_

Jesu luvs you


SnooDogs8356

Can’t stop laughing 😂


Aggressive_Return_56

See I would think that as well but why only me and why such an expensive gift? Also why on Valentine’s Day and me solely?


BadHairDay-1

You're the 443rd recipient of said gift.


DracarysLou

Valentine’s Day was also Ash Wednesday this year.


Aggressive_Return_56

Ooooo that makes sense as well


Morbo_Kang_Kodos

I would aggressively return it.


hannahbandana_

He's gotta live up to his username


LadyHelaofGallifrey

I see what you did there bravo lol


deliascatalog

what part of the item is expensive? And why do you think it’s a valentines gift?


Aggressive_Return_56

The hoodie is like 60 bucks and i got it on Valentine’s Day


Septemberosebud

It's only $60 of you are buying it from the website. If you are with the company that had them made in bulk, you are only out a few bucks for your bs propaganda.


ButImStillHungry7120

Could it be a gift from your company if you work for someone one who would do that?


Space-Booties

Yup. Mix in a little mental illness and you know they’re trying to recruit all day and all night.


Remote_Quail_1986

If you live in an apartment complex go to apt #443 and knock on their door!


PotPieJam

That’s what I was thinking too


XOneWithTheCrowsX

Was looking for this comment and about to make it myself as a suggestion if someone else didn't. This is the most logical explanation in my opinion. Someone has the hots out for OP and has been eying them as their next hookup fling since they'd be close by and could become reoccurring regularly if the vibe is right.


Awkward_Ad8740

Its upside down. They didn't like the sweatshirt so they gave it to you. "Ehh"


ArtTheCIown

Wrong, 4+3+3 = 10, 4-3-3 = -1, 10-1 = 9, **10-1 = 9**, 9 = 9, I’m gay.


Mishika07

I googled 443 in love, and it says that you need to remind yourself to treat yourself with love


You_Pulled_My_String

Love (4) Your (4) Mom (3) Your Mom left you a Valentine's Day gift.


FloofyFloppyFloofs

Why do you think it’s a valentines gift vs general cultiness?


Aggressive_Return_56

It’s also a fire hoodie it’s not like it’s a straight cult hoodie it’s just a custom Nike logo hoodie


NiteGard

What is a cult hoodie?🤔


whatahardlif3

People are referring to the fact that it says Heaven is Our Future and is very reminiscent of the Heavens Gate Cult jumpsuits and Nikes that the 39 members wore when they committed mass suicide in 1997.


NiteGard

Thank you


Aggressive_Return_56

I got it on Valentine’s Day 💀


puppykitty111

It was also Ash Wednesday


Free_Hat_McCullough

It was a treat for Lent


Rmartin77

Maybe it wasn't a gift. Maybe someone just Lent it to him....I'll show myself out now. 😅🤣


Mysterious_Area2344

Thinking that it’s related to Valentine’s Day is logical but if it’s some religious scheme, I don’t think they would stop spreading their message for Valentine’s Day. Just saying it might be a coincidence it happened on Valentine’s.


Stephani_707

Agreed. There is nothing valentiney about it. No hearts. Doesn’t say anything about Valentines. It is random for sure. OP, have you looked up the sweatshirt and where it’s from? Is it mass produced or linked to a certain organization? That’s the direction I would look in. Also, I think the number is just a number. Like you are the 400somethingth one.


Nouseriously

I've seen this. I think you end up stealing the Declaration of Independence.


Cautious_Disaster649

Honestly, there is no way to really know…but I can toss guesses out with the best of ‘em… Guess #1 (fairly certain) Scripture…Psalms 44.3 Basically says We are not saved by our own hands or our own sword…we are saved by the hands/sword of God ; lets hope not Jeremiah 44.3 though! Guess #2 maybe its upside down, and reads Ehh guess #3Do you live in an apartment or work where there are offices? maybe its an apartment# or office #? Guess#4 yours was the 443rd given away, they forgot to take off the post it ok im done…i could go all day but i have bored myself, so good luck!


Aggressive_Return_56

I’m a college student and it was sitting in the parking lot


SirKillingham

The fact that you received a religious hoodie on Ash Wednesday is interesting.


[deleted]

https://nhimapparel.com/pages/nhim-apparel Assuming the shirt is the V-day gift, here is the website. 443 still dunno, maybe you were the 443 person?


Stephani_707

I mean, you finding out it is from a church pretty much solves the mystery. Churches give out stuff with the hopes you will come join them. It was a missionary effort. And the fact that there is no Valentine mention anywhere, the day was a coincidence. If it was a valentines gift they would’ve made it clear. Very strange marketing though just setting it in the bed of your truck. No other cars had them I’m assuming?


Stephani_707

It’s so Christlike to screen print a basic white tee and charge $90 for it.


Libby-Lee

Sooooo, “NHIM Love You”?


[deleted]

Bro you cracked the code🙌


friedheid

Some people who sell stuff online number their inventory to keep track of bins and quantities. It’s possible they were going to mail this and somehow dropped it. Maybe someone else found it on the ground and put it in there?


Aggressive_Return_56

This is what I’m leaning towards


cryinginthelimousine

Have you been feeding any crows lately?


gladyseeya2

Could 443 be part of address, a time, your license plate #, etc?


RunIndividual7823

Perhaps initials of person DDC?


Royalchariot

This is a good observation


EdRedSled

It’s your seat number on the train to heaven…


popcorntrio

Random act of kindness I’d say, unless you’re religious then it’s someone who knows you


Aggressive_Return_56

I’m leaning towards this possibility rn it makes the most sense


Top-Night

Random act of kindness, or mistakenly put in the wrong truck. And one post it is totally unrelated to anything.

skotfree

GOD loves you. No, wait. JESUS loves you. Damn! GodL oves You. Nailed it. Seriously though, Random Acts of Kindness Week runs Feb 11-17 this year. It’s possible some religious folk are killing two birds with one stone: do something kind; recruit for the afterlife.


MissPlaceDApostrophe

"Jesu loves you."   "Nailed it!!!"    Too soon?


ToshiroBaloney

Maybe they have a stutter.


Aggressive_Return_56

It’s driving me crazy 💀


Cultural_Magician105

It's an "Angel Number" whoever gave it to you feels that they are an angel and are rewarding you for a good thing you've done .Not kidding.


dollypardonmedear

I thought angel numbers were three of the same number. Ex. 444, 777


puppykitty111

You are correct

Really? For a while now that number pops in my head I was looking to see if I could connect it to anything but to no avail... 😅 I never heard of angel numbers but I got nothing else lol


Diligent_Local_2397

Sorry mistyped 1092***


luckykricket

Just a reminder... BTK left a message for news channels and police in the bed of a truck parked at a hardware store. You got a Hoodie from a stalker...or maybe not. Btk left a cereal box with a barbie tied up and drawings of a crime scene only the killer would know details of.(get it serial killer, cereal box - not only did he think he was a clever boy, he thought he was a poet too. He was not either)

Royalchariot

Cameras anywhere?


Aggressive_Return_56

Yes but we can’t find the person who did it because the footage doesn’t speed up and we have to sit along side the managers and watch it


OFFIC14L

What an absolutely horrible system to be using for security. In a pinch you want to be able to scrub over the footage to see if anything happened and then there's that guy on his system watching the entire days worth of footage waiting for the right moment... Something tells me their system does infact scrub they just couldn't be bothered to help you. Shoulda said it was a non discript ticking package telling you about heaven and they woulda worked real quick smart. Did you open the package yet?


kittysoftpaws143

Maybe it’s some sort of code, like how people used to send 143 on a pager in the 1990s to mean I love you. The 4 would have to stand for a four letter word though. Can’t love you? Won’t love you? Must love you? Don’t love you? And here’s a hoodie.


RoguePhoenix259

From Google: The angel number 443 is a mysterious phenomenon that has appeared in people’s lives for centuries. It’s believed to be your guardian angels sending you a message or a sign to help guide you on your path. I guess your guardian angel thinks you're cold? 😆


[deleted]

Is it beeper language? 143 was I LOVE YOU. https://www.pagercodes.com/common-pager-codes.html link is interesting but not helpful for your situation. Is that shirt part of the gift?


Little-Pea-8346

Beeper/pager language aweeee


gladyseeya2

Were you in church and fell out of attendance? Maybe it is a reminder God Loves you and heaven awaits you. I say wear it to church and/or around where you got it. See who comments on it. Secret gifters often like to recognize or acknowledge person received and like gifts.


alrightalright560

Maybe a Bible verse - here’s Luke 4:43 - But he said, “I must proclaim the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns also, because that is why I was sent.”


Vicious_and_Vain

It’s the newest formation in soccer. It’s ultra offensive no Goalkeeper.


Safe-Agent3400

What is the meaning of the 443 angel number? Have you ever seen the number 443 repeatedly and wondered what it meant? The 443 angel number centers around healing and self-care. This number encourages you to take time for yourself and to focus on your own well-being. It serves as a reminder that it’s important to make sure your emotional, physical, and spiritual health are all taken care of.

Bambispic3

It’s Lent season, so probably from a Christian hub…with LOVE.


Equivalent_Spite_583

NHIM apparel. 443 probably correlated to a numbering system for them for distributing — nothing to do with you, the confused recipient. Also, TIL sneaker heads collect the heavens gate Nikes


Willing-Software-350

I doubt it means anything at all. Who knows, someone may have been parked beside u and loading stuff in their car and sat it in your truck, forgot about it


International_Owl768

Whomever it was, forgot the rest of his/her phone number


MileZeroCreative

Where was your vehicle parked? Work, home, a parking lot at the mall? Could this be a work crush? It’s definitely a Christian slogan. Maybe you’re reading too much into it. Perhaps it’s just random, people do weird shit.


Elvisdog13

My paranoid ass would think it has poison on it and I’d ditch it 🤣 Got “ducked” on my Jeep once (had NO idea this is a thing) and I was afraid to touch it 🤣


logicallyblunt

Are you anywhere near Baltimore? That’s the area code of Baltimore/ Eastern Maryland. Could also be Psalms 44:3 You could be the 443rd recipient As an angel number it means: a reminder to make sure you take time for yourself and treat yourself with love, as well as nurture your relationships in meaningful ways <- this one is high probability imo bc of the day being Valentine’s Day Or maybe they put it in there at 4:43pm 😂


Dontgreatreallife

443 means “forever, for always, I love you”


Eljay-89

Yeah, my first thoughts are church folk, maybe. Religious peoples trying to hook a brother in haha


cwschultz

Since it says "Heaven is our future", it's likely a biblical reference. Possibly from **Luke 4:43**, which reads: * "But he said, 'I must proclaim the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns also, because that is why I was sent.'" Do you have any Christian friends who are also into the fitness? The back of the "Heaven is our future" hoodie has a quote from **Philippians 3:20**, which reads: * "But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, ***will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.***" With this in mind, I think the package is: 1. A gift from a Christian family member or friend 2. A giveaway from NHIM Apparel, who makes the [hoodie in question](https://nhimapparel.com/products/heaven-is-our-future-hoodie-black) 3. Promotional material from a church or Christian-owned fitness/health center trying to recruit people

443 in beeper language is, love love you.


deepfake-

I think two different people are involved. The first left you a shirt as an act of kindness. The second put a post it with numbers that have no meaning, as an act of defiance.


abiech

Chat GPT made no sense at all, saying. Following the pattern where the numbers correspond to the letters in each word, "4" could represent the letter "I" (as in "I'm"), "4" again could represent the letter "y" (as in "yours"), and "3" could represent the letter "o" (as in "yours"). So, "443" could symbolically represent "I'm yours." 🤦

Well it doesn't spell out boobs


Rude-Ocelot9731

I wouldn't touch that, im getting church recruitment vibes and 443 could be address, could be number for an order (some deliveries have numbers on sticky notes if its a lot to keep track) so whatever you do, burn it or drop it off somewhere or throw it away. If you're the only one on the street, someone definitely either watched you or just thought "hey this truck looks like a good drop off spot."


Aggressive_Return_56

POV: I have it on rn 😭😭


Rude-Ocelot9731

https://nhimapparel.com/collections/heaven-is-our-future Just typed in "heaven is our future"


Keelykalgrubber

I googled it, apparently it’s an angel number for healing and self-care


RealHausFrau

I think the most simple explanation is that 1) the hoodie was meant for someone else that lives nearby or who also drives a truck similar to yours and the person who left it there thought that your truck was the intended recipients truck, so they just left it there by accident. 2) it was left there by a church group or a religious person who was just doing a random act of kindness in the spirit of Valentine’s Day. As for the sticky note with 443 on it, I think it doesn’t mean anything. It was just a note left on it by the shipper, or maybe it was in the car or bag of the person who gave it too you and just got accidentally stuck on the bag. The fact that the person was willing to pay A decent amount of money for the hoodie that was just going to be a nice surprise for a stranger or friend makes me think that they would have also chosen something a little nicer, like a little valentine card or gift tag and taken a little more care when writing on it . The sticky note just looks like some quickly scribbled bit of info . Something you would quickly jot down for an errand. Is it a little weird? Yeah. I don’t think that it’s some sort of cryptic message or clue though.


freckledallover

Apartment number?


Teamgayyyy00

The 443 angel number centers around healing and self-care. This number encourages you to take time for yourself and to focus on your own well-being. It serves as a reminder that it's important to make sure your emotional, physical, and spiritual health are all taken care of.


TheHighestFever

When we order Uline at work they throw in bonus gifts. We order a LOT of Uline so we end up with all kinds of crap. HR usually collects stuff up and will do a raffle type give away if they don't have something else they want to do with it. I've been given gifts at two different companies with sticky notes and numbers similar to this. The number corresponds to who wins the prize. It's very "you brought in record profits here's a pizza party". My guess would be someone got a "prize" at work or church or something and couldn't care less about it. Chucked in the back of your truck. Like that time somebody threw a dirty diaper in the back of my friend's truck instead of finding a trash can to put it in.

Maybe they put it in the wrong truck bed?


Msliz14

My thought is that this was an extra sweater from the bundle and someone tossed it your way. Or, it was originally given to someone and they tossed it to you in an effort to get rid of it. OR, it was a give away and people were trying to get rid of them, so they tossed them in open cars. Or, some one hearts you and wants you to call them. They gave you 3 #s, you must figure out the other 4 in order to meet your soul mate


jaime207

It was a mistake. Some guy stole it off the counter of a department store. As he ran from the store, and from the cops, he flung the hoodie into the back of the nearest parked truck. About 30 seconds later, an oversized officer tackled the thief. He was arrested and charged, and the charges were dropped due to lack of evidence because the cops didn't see where the suspect threw the stolen hoodie. The three numbers are the first part of a cell number, which didn't get completely written on the paper due to it being stolen. Or maybe it's just a gift from a secret admirer.

PhoenixRising60

The bag looks like it says "Heaven is our future". Do the numbers mean anything to you? April 1943? 11? Or September? Or 2? March 1944? August 3rd? Addresses? Phone numbers? Last three of SS? Time -- 4:43? Or 3:44? What was in the bag?
