<p>[QUOTE=&quot;davidh, post: 474787, member: 15062&quot;]It appears that the envelope was torn open rather than cut, as someone would likely have done.&nbsp; I&#039;d say the envelope was torn when it went through the sorting machinery.&nbsp; These bubble mailers can&#039;t go through the same sorters that regular envelopes do since they&#039;re too thick.&nbsp; If that is what happened, it&#039;s easy to see why the heavier coin just fell out while the money order was still there.&nbsp; The coin probably landed in the machinery or on the floor where some worker picked it up.&nbsp; If he was honest, it would have gone through the lost mail procedure and would be delivered to the person whose name was on the paper it was wrapped in.&nbsp; Otherwise it went into his pocket.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve found that a good alternative to envelopes is the little boxes made for mailing cassettes (both audio and VHS).&nbsp; These are available at the Post Office and are a bit pricey - $2-3 - but are sturdy, and who would want to steal an audio cassette or a VHS tape?&nbsp; They also have CD/DVD mailing boxes but those might be more likely to be stolen.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
