[QUOTE="Owle, post: 1415205, member: 22004"]I have had coins stolen with the USPS. This item caught my attention today of a postal employee being caught for theft: [URL]http://www.justice.gov/usao/ct/Press2012/20120409-1.html[/URL] I have seen reports like this before, more focussed on theft of parcel contents rather than on postal money orders. As protections I generally buy at least $100 in insurance on parcels so that whoever handles the parcel is cognizant that it is insured. I use "Ship and Insure" as an external insurer, just in case. The burden of proof on claims can still be a hurdle to get over. How does the insurer really know what you claim is inside was actually shipped unless you do photo documentation?[/QUOTE]
