Not so much. I had an expensive ring that was supposed to come to my house (my box is 1/4 mile away, rural). I wasn’t home so the yellow slip was left in my box. It wasn’t in my box when I picked up my mail, so I didn’t know a delivery was attempted (the mail lady is a friend and said yes, it was placed in my box). They only leave one slip now, so after a week I checked the status of my order. I found a delivery attempt was made. It showed that I picked it up at the post office. The Post Master said as far as the postal service was concerned I had picked it up. It was supposed to be signed for, but they didn’t have the signed slip. Told me to report it to the police, who told me they couldn’t touch it as it was federal. Talked to the county sheriff, who took a report, but found they couldn’t touch it either. Went to the postal inspectors, who decided no action was warranted. Big runaround. No cameras in our post office, obviously. I am seriously pissed over this.
Sounds like an inside job from someone you know.
How would any criminal know you had the slip in your box? They can’t take it if they don’t know. Sounds like someone you know and told decided to beat you to the punch.
I might suspect the postal delivery person, saying they left if for you but then went back to a buddy at work and got it from them, claiming to have left the slip in your box. Problem is, how on earth would the delivery person know the contents of the package you were waiting for. It wouldn’t be worth the risk.
So the only thing reasonable is that you told somebody you mail ordered an expensive ring and either they or someone they told waited for that slip to be delivered while you weren’t home. Had to be an inside job. That’s awful.
The less things you tell people, the better off you are.
The USPS is too busy transferring 50,000 tons of junk mail per day to mailboxes, to be concerned with your lost item.
That’s not what the PI do. The clerk should have asked for ID. That’s what insurance is for. It is likely no one in the postal system got your stuff.
