I just sent a lump of dog poo in a sealed container to myself and labelled the package - "Handle with Care - Delicate Platinum Necklace Inside".

The guy that steals it will probably win a compensation claim against you for sending unsafe packages through the post. What a crazy world!

Indeed, same as a local burglar who sliced his finger badly whilst ransacking a house on a blade in a kitchen drawyer, he only got compensation !

No way 


surely that's an Urban Myth  ???

I remember VE Jason retelling a tale from during his building company days, that when they went to replace/fix a false ceiling . . . a snowstorm of empty padded envelopes fell down on them when they removed the ceiling.

I guess like many a thing, the crooked few can give the many good ones a bad reputation.

Lol!

I have read somewhere, so possibly not true, that you shouldn't have barbed wire around your property incase someone injures themselves climbing over it  ???

When we lived in the middle of nowhere, we had an electric fence    only to stop the cattle eating the garden 

[Carpe Vapor]

I think it is razor wire that is banned.

barbed is Ok I guess, so you can still inflict a modicom of pain, just not shred them to bits lol.

They do this all the time with envelopes with small objects in them (like the carto tool) - because it feels like cash or jewellery.

We had a spate of XTAR spacers going missing out of packets and when we get returns of things like airflow controllers, tank bases, or similar small round items - invariably the envelope has a little nick in it and is empty with just the senders note inside.

Disgraceful and they deserve everything they get if caught

Best to use a jiffy envelope and pad it out with vaper towel to disguise the shape of the contents

Obviously then, some people do send high value items in the post just in a wee packet/envelope  ???

Still no excuse, but these thieves must get more than just some spacers or a carto tool otherwise they would stop doing it  ???

I hope they all do get caught, but unlikely.  It would only take a few to get caught for others to think twice!

[Super-Shiny]

It's one of the main reasons i send everything no matter how small by recorded mail, should not have to but do due to Royal Fail, gutted for you Neil and poochops

I so hope karma catches up with them (not you Karma)... I know it's not murder, but it just feels that some people are not in the same world.!

Its probably the same thieving asshole that had my original coil buddy that you sent me greigster. The thieving little shit is probably still wondering what it is. makes my blood boil....................Sue

That's so true Raffles there are just so many people in society now that think they don't need to abide by any kind of rules at all

LOL  ... I reckon they would learn a harder lesson if our Karma did catch up with them!
