One thing I find with USPS, when you are at your angriest, the box shows up.
Stolen off the street is one thing, but opened or confiscated by USPS is ultra-rare.
It's when you see OUT FOR DELIVERY that you need to worry about theft. They almost
ALWAYS update THAT info.
I live in a horrible neighborhood for aholes walking down the street just looking for something
to steal, and as a result I get everything shipped to work. What makes it worse is if someone
DOES ship to my house, the mailman leaves a slip of paper demanding that I go to a post office
as far as possible from work as is geographically possible, and demands I do it during what are my
work hours. So I have to take an hour or two off work just to pick up a box.
