<p>[QUOTE="Dave M, post: 686760, member: 17469"]Thanks much for the note, DJ. As regards who it may be, I think the set of folks includes everyone from the packaging & shipping folks at CGB through my postal delivery person. Neighbors wouldn't have had any access to the package. In a curious twist, the package is labeled right on the front with the contents and value, one one of those tear-off sheets. I don't know if that sheet was covered during most of the trip through the mail, but as it stands right now, when I received it, it's yelling loud and clear "expensive stuff in here". I assume this package was shipped like any other shipment from CGB (they don't ask the customer how he wants shipping) so it would seem to be really strange if that label were actually exposed through the mail stream. I have this vision of the Monday morning after every auction, they bring a couple thousand similar packages to their local post office and drop them off.... if anyone's going to see a pattern, it would be their local office.</p><p><br /></p><p>Right now I'm just hoping to get money back out of the insurance claim.
