A U.S. Postal Service employee stashed nearly 50,000 pieces of undelivered mail in her California home, according to a criminal information filed against the worker.
Federal investigators charge that Sherry Watanabe hid "approximately 48,288 pieces of United States mail" in her apartment. The mail was intended for delivery to customers along Watanabe’s route in Placentia, an Orange County city.
Watanabe, 48, was named in a one-count felony criminal information filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles. In a plea agreement with prosecutors, Watanabe has admitted to the mail hoarding.
According to the plea agreement, Watanabe was hired as a mail carrier in June 2006, and she began collecting “large quantities of such mail” in her Placentia residence in 2011. While the undelivered mail was seized by law enforcement agents in late-2013, court filings do not indicate why more than two years passed before Watanabe was charged.
Though Watanabe faces a statutory maximum of three years in custody, prosecutors have agreed to recommend that a term of imprisonment not exceed “the low end of the applicable Sentencing Guidelines range.”
In similar previous prosecutions, mail carriers have claimed that the volume on their routes was so onerous that they opted to hide the mail instead of delivering it.

Yeah, I figure right now, my mailbox is so beat up that she would just say, well his door want shut easily.
And she’s not lying, but it is her fault.
I’ll replace the mailbox and then complain the next time it happens.
“Funny Farm” is hilarious! One of my favorite parts is how, early on, Chevy Chase’s character is charmed by the bird chirping right outside of his window. It doesn’t take too long for the novelty to wear off, though. You’ll have to check it out to see what Chevy Chase does, Daff! (Sorry to sound like Nancy Peloser. “You’ll have to watch it to find out what’s in it.”)
And, yes, the lunatic mailman is great! :)
I’ll look at physical mail. I immediately delete e-mail ads.
This worthless skank is double special privileged being an Asian and
a woman so how dare they question her. The PO is a more than equal
opportunity employer after all.
They have something like a quarter million carriers at any one time and
should ruthlessly make an example of losers like this. Bury her under the
jail.
Got me there!
I ordered some electrical connectors on ebay back in January of 2015. I got a USPS tracking number and waited and waited. I gave up on getting them and forgot about them. ....until ....They were delivered July 12 this year!
I guess this criminal idiot wasn’t much of a “worker”.
Must have been a big coupon shopper.
LOL!
