“It’s 5 years in federal prison for mail tampering. Not many would be willing to risk that.”

That was my first thought too. Even people in LaHood (a little transportation secretary lingo, for those of you in Rio Linda) know THE LAW.

They are more than welcome to try to steal granny’s check (even if they’re all electronic these days), but they risk some SERIOUS JAIL TIME, much more time than, say, killing an 8 year old black kid in Chicago.

Yawn. Call us when he does something really bad, like supporting Donald Trump.

[Yashcheritsiy]

Sounds like you’re pretty much of a little bitch trying to get somebody in trouble.

Hey, at least he's not pimping a blog or anything, right?

The creed mentions rain, snow, heat, and gloom of night.

It made no promises about grocery shopping, so no problem.

You are starting to spin out of control.

To everything

Turn, turn, turn

There is a season

Turn, turn, turn

and time to every purpose

under Heaven...

He’s union - nothing will come of this.

[cloudmountain]

I don't know about liability but he is a total JERK for leaving all that mail unattended. Robbing the mail is a federal offense and a felony. Most people won't TOUCH it.
However, that's not the point, is it?
He sounds like a lazy jerk to me.

May he get the SHORT end of the turkey wishbone break.

I deliver mail. This is totally unacceptable although there isn’t much that can be done due to union leaders. If it was a postmaster or supervisor who saw and documented this, it might be different.
If my vehicle is unlocked, even while not having mail inside,but parked in the PO parking lot, I can be fired.
I suggest you contact the postmaster general. The office will get a good warning

I have a “paper trail” a digital photography trail at any rate that shows the vehicle parked with the windows down and driverless...and the vechicl number clearly ,arked on the back

I’d have loved to have seen the drivers..face..when a local cop who I flagged down.. drove by.

Thank you.

[MeshugeMikey]

Thank you.

[MeshugeMikey]

if the mails properly once the mail leaves “their hands”..its “out of their hands”..so to speak.

[MeshugeMikey]

Thank you

[MeshugeMikey]

he was an aging hippy by the looks of em. but a lot Larger...than I am

[Hawthorn]

>> at least he won’t be delivering any vulnerable mail on Sunday <<

How do you know? In my area, the local USPS trucks are out on the roads every Sunday now — mostly delivering packages for Amazon, so it seems.

[MeshugeMikey]

the photos will doubtless come in handy as will my contact with local PD who actually saw the guy come out of the store....

they dont have jurisdiction to act...but they can sure back up...on this one.

Its nice to have reliable witnesses!!

[MeshugeMikey]

the vehicle was unlocked...presumaby.. and both side windows were wide open and large enough to crawl though

did I not mention this in my first posting in similar terms??

[MeshugeMikey]

thus was a residential mail delivery truck ..

.low windows? that allowed me to see into...the truck

[MeshugeMikey]

ahahahaha this guy looked like groceries were his Hobby ... btw

[MeshugeMikey]

I once worked for the USPS for a short time....

if I had pulled a stunt like this it would have been far shorter..that I knew for certain...

[MeshugeMikey]

and we often wonder why this nation is in such deeo doo doo.
