<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cliff Reuter, post: 8179458, member: 115140&quot;]Very nice of the finder to go out of their way like that.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll add two pertinent stories to the mix. (Roadside delivery and lost in transit. )</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve had mail removed from my roadside box two times that I know of.</p><p>Once, it was bills and they were returned to me by the USPS in a plastic bag with a &quot;Sorry&quot; letter.</p><p>Another time a neighbor showed me some coins his son found scattered in the street. They were 4 ancients a friend sent to me that failed to arrive. The 14-year-old wasn&#039;t the culprit, but probably some other teens walking by opened the mailbox and grabbed the coins. When the culprits realized they weren&#039;t spendable they chucked them as they walked along. (Even two weeks after they disappeared I found the envelope in the weeds across the street from the mailbox.)</p><p><br /></p><p>My &quot;Lost in transit&quot; story has a great ending.</p><p>A package that was supposed to contain a roll of Lincoln&#039;s with a very fine 1878 SL dime on one end and a VDB on the other was delivered .... empty. The corner of the manila envelope with no tape had torn open from the machinery. After filing a claim and including a description and auction images I didn&#039;t have much hope. After a couple of weeks, I get a call from the lost mail center in Atlanta and the rep said she had a dime like that and asked me what other coins were in the roll. I was flustered because there was no way to know. She said they get coins from damaged packing on a regular basis and asked what kind of coins usually came in the rolls. I indicated this seller usually had multiple VDB&#039;s and a couple of silver dimes as well as other nice early wheats. She said OK and that was what came! </p><p><br /></p><p>Yea USPS!! Thank you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
