As it was certified mail and I was not at home, the postman left one of those “come and get it” slips in my mailbox. Tuesday comes around and my wife runs to the post office and presents the receipt to the clerk who goes and looks for it. 20 minutes later, the clerk returns saying he can’t find it! They took her phone number and said they’d continue to look for it and call her if they found it. I’m not holding my breath. I think it’s gone. What really irks me though is that It Was At My Door!!! And then went missing. </font></font></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Times New Roman"><font size="3">*Sigh*</font></font></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Times New Roman"><font size="3">I’ve never heard of a lost item returning to the owner, so I’m certain I’m out of luck. … Well, I guess I remember hearing of a postcard being like 60 years late being delivered, but honestly, I don’t think this will come back. </font></font></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Times New Roman"><font size="3">Well, I can’t hold a grudge against the postman, I mean if he was going to steal it, why leave the receipt? No, I think it’s just lost. But man! It was Right There! I might have to request just regular mail in the future if this happens again. It wasn’t exactly cheap, either, but I’ve only heard of horror stories about the USPS taking responsibility in these cases. Next best job to being a weatherman, I suppose. Both the weather and mail are full of mysterious vortexes that can make sunshine and mail change at a moments notice and no one’s to blame. </font></font></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Times New Roman"><font size="3">*Sigh*</font></font></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Really though, I&#039;m quite lucky. I&#039;ve only had three items disappear in the mail ever (that I know of). Considering the amount of banknotes I&#039;ve had delivered, I&#039;m doing quite well indeed. And heaven knows that I consitently get my junk mail and bills on time and without fail, so they post office is doing ok, I suppose.... But It Was At My Door and I just feel so... so... disappointed? yeah, but I guess I&#039;m still mad, too. I just want to say like Yosemite Sam Said: Rickin Brackin Sassafrackin, Consarn it!&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And: #@!*&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And: Jumpin Jesus! </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Okay I feel better now. Thanks for letting me vent.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
