<p>[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 1225355, member: 13650"]I remember your previous posts on this. I was wondering how this was going. This is really a mess. Even if you never get the insurance straightened out, I wouldn't lose hope that you'll never see them again. Sometimes in shipping some really weird things can happen. Whether it be mechanical or human error. Everybody is in a hurry. One time I had a valuable box accidentally delivered to a house a few blocks away from me. The address wasn't even close. It was a vacant house. It sat there for 3 months. The owner lived in Chicago. One day I get a knock on my door. The guy came to check on his vacant house, found my package and delivered it to me. </p><p><br /></p><p> Your package could have dropped into something or fell somewhere where it hasn't been seen and the area has not been checked yet. It's certainly possible that somebody stole it, but it's almost just as likely that something weird and out of the ordinary happened, and it's sitting somewhere waiting to be discovered again. Since it was registered and so well tracked, you'd think it was almost more likely that it's accidentally lost somewhere. Most people making 50 to 70k a year with benefits are not going to risk losing that job over a few grand. Most. I realize there are some that are stupid and some who are addicted to the thrill of stealing that would risk it. But still, I'd say the odds were in your favor.</p><p><br /></p><p> You know, some day, out of the blue, maybe even 5 years down the road, the box might make it back to you with an unbelievable story. Really sorry to hear about this mess though. I appreciate your posts. They have been valuable information for us all. Trust me, I wouldn't want to be trying to get any insurance money for anything out of the self insured, USPS these days.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
