GLENDALE (CBSLA) — An investigation was underway after surveillance video captured bags of mail being dumped in the parking lot of a Glendale spa Thursday morning.
The video, taken outside of 7Q salon, shows a Budget box truck backed into the parking lot. Moments later, bag after bag could be seen being tossed out of the back of the truck and onto the ground.
Lilia Serobian, co-owner of the salon, found the bags and took cell phone video as she realized they were filled with hundreds of unopened envelopes and packages from the U.S. Postal Service.
“It was completely unusual,” Serobian said. “If they’re taking for their personal use, basically, why’d they have to drop off all the unopened packages somewhere.”
Serobian said the incident has made her uneasy given the recent controversy surrounding the postal service.

Shine on, shine on harvest moon... It’s Russia!!!
Thieves would rifle the mail and packages for anything of value. Dumping unopened mail is usually done by carriers.
USPS knows exactly which carrier was supposed to be delivering it.
#2. Dirty politics? No SchiffT!!!
This was the article I read earlier. That mentions 2 parking lots (this is a copy and paste from a post I made earlier on another thread)
Two California stories.

Usually one in every post office. A local was close to retirement and was found taking samples home, when they used to mail samples out. In my PO the woman was dumping the ads. Didn’t want to go to every house. They gave up a lot of old age benefits for laziness. And they had many years in. Just makes me shake my head.
I wouldn’t doubt it.
Thank you for the links...
Then I didn’t find a bunch of loose mail in the woods just off a road close to my home - when I was in my early teens, yes, over 50 yrs ago, Buffalo, NY.
How pervasive was the practice, don’t know but it happened at least many times if one 13 yr old found one bag.
Today I have a great mailman. When he has a day off some substitute “delivers” and more than once a sub mailman/woman for our cup-de-sac will just cram a bunch of mail in a single mailbox. Our regular guy says it happens and usually because the sub is running late and just wants to drop the load quickly.
Practicing for mail in voting and drop off points
Dry run for dumping Republican zip code ballots? Seeing if ‘the press’ will cover the story?
There is a long history of letter carriers dumping mail. They just do not want to deliver it ...too much walking and work.

I remember a case from a few years back where the letter carrier’s house was searched and he had been “hording” all the undelivered mail. Weird stuff.

that, or maybe the postman visited his girl friend for a few hours and didn’t have time to deliver everything, so, he discards it. Possible?
In one case a Ft Lauderdale area station manager was meeting a carrier at a motel on her route, they got caught and fired.
On appeal he got his job back, she didn’t.
And this is what will happen to your vote with the leftists (i.e. democrats) at the usps.

Glendale postal officials should be meeting with Mr. Waterboard to discuss everything they ever knew!
