<p>[QUOTE="YOC, post: 1862708, member: 58941"]Being ex law enforcement myself, I have a theory. If the crime were discovered an hour, day or even week later then the perpetrator would be understandably worried, because it would be relatively easy to trace who was where and working which shifts etc., but with most lost/stolen mail cases not being investigated until perhaps 2-3 months after the 'disappearance', the individual(s) concerned would be more inclined to think they could get away with it, as after a month or so who knows/remembers which worker dealt with what? I would have hoped that every mail batch would be tracked and coded and allocated to whoever handles it, as is the case with evidence from a crime, but I doubt it is. (with crime scene evidence, every time someone handles a piece of evidence or hands it on to someone else, a statement is written and continuity is preserved...if continuity breaks down, its enough for someone to walk free) </p><p>I know customs declarations are there for a reason and its all well and good people saying, just write metal disc or token on the form, but with value also written on it its no wonder is it? My envelope sent said (Roman coin, value £350!)suprise, suprise, its gone![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
