We're going to end up moving this to the Crime subforum for archival purposes but it deserves to be front page news for a while. Somebody's in big trouble, and numismatics wins.  |

that is unfortunate, but let's be glad he got caught and it also by no means means UPS sucks, I mean we have read repeatedly that Fedex packages with coins etc have vanished as well. I think it is endemic for our society not for the parcel company

After reading that article I started reading some of the comments at the bottom. I thought this joke someone posted was pretty funny Quote:Postal worker comes across letter addressed to God, with no other address. Opens letter, and finds a note to God from old woman who desperately needs $100. Passes it around the office and takes a collection for her, netting $80. They send it off to her. A few weeks later, lo!, another message addressed to God. Again, the clerk opens the letter to read: Dear God. Thank you so much for answering my letter. I really needed that money. P.S. I thought you might like to know that those  s at the post office stole $20! |

at least he made it easy by taking his stolen goods home with him...
too bad there isn't a "stupidity charge" that could be added to the list of things he will be arraigned for.

Now I like UPS even less. Being a manager at a UPS hub, let me give you a couple of stats. UPS has 424,000 employees. We deliver 4.3 billion packages per year, 16.9 million daily. We delivered 1/2 billion packages over the Christmas holiday season alone. The anti-theft measures and anti-theft education the company takes are extensive. Unfortunately, with 424,000 employees, human nature dictates, there are going to be a couple of bad apples. Stealing is one thing, getting away with it is entirely a different thing. The journey of every package is meticulously documented.  |

He could have just replaced them with fake bars and the shipper would get all the heat.

Probably caught him because of how saggy his pants were do to the weight of the bars.

If it was we would need a LOT more prisons and there would be no way those few on the outside could produce enough to support those on the inside |
