<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NOS, post: 5231557, member: 2098&quot;]It is quite likely an employee or employees (corrupt postal workers tend to work together as syndicates) at the location the notes were sent from snagged the package as a result of realizing the declared value or how much it was insured for. Unfortunately, declaring the value of a package&#039;s contents (which I realize may have been required for sending internationally) or buying extra insurance is itself inherently risky as it sends a message to postal workers that there are items of notable value within said package.</p><p><br /></p><p>I send notes at times domestically and often use flat rate priority boxes to do so. I never buy additional insurance in case of loss such as to avoid having to reveal and signify I am sending anything of value. A couple of times I&#039;ve put in a piece of rubbish to rattle in the box such as to try and make it seem like the contents in the box are of no real value (or at least to give the impression there aren&#039;t notes or coins inside).</p><p><br /></p><p>To this day I have not had a problem sending items in priority boxes but time and time again it is reported that highly insured packages containing gold coins or what have you go missing (whether from USPS or Royal Mail). I can&#039;t help but ponder if these same packages would have made it just fine to their destinations if the senders didn&#039;t buy additional insurance and give away that there are items of notable value inside.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
