<p>[QUOTE="wxcoin, post: 3566680, member: 74624"]I remember a number of years back when I lived in rural Oklahoma. I was expecting several signature required packages containing several coins worth over $1k to be delivered on a Saturday. The status that day was that they were out for delivery. As I was walking down my driveway to the mailbox, about a half mile from the house, I saw the weekend mail carrier drive away from my mailbox. When I got to the mailbox there were no packages. Sunday morning as I was heading to town I thought I'd check the mailbox. Lo and behold the packages containing my coins were there. My guess was the carrier saw the packages in her car after she finished her route and dropped them into the mailbox, without getting the required signatures. The following week I got a call from the local postmaster about whether I received the coins and if I did would I stop at the post office on my way home from work and sign for them. If I was a dishonest person I probably could have told them no and not only got the coins, but also got a refund from the seller claiming they were lost by the postal service. It made me wonder how often this happens.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
