United States Postal Service USPS, United Scammers and Professional Scumbags Paid $ 12,- for a service that consisted in opening my box with a knife and stealing the contents Nationwide

What is the difference between an ordinary  average thief  and  a  government thief employed by USPS  ?

Answer:  The  ordinary  thief will  not charge you for the service of  stealing -  if you want  a  USPS  employee to provide the  service of  theft to you  the organization will charge you for that.

We  paid about $ 12,-  for a  USPS  Flat Rate Box,  sending some exotic food (fruits and snacks)  to  my wife's  sister in Georgia.  We had  paid about $ 20,-  for  the contents.  About a week later  we received a large envelope with the empty  box inside.  It  had clearly  been cut with a  sharp knife,  the  Flat  Rate Box seals  are made of a special glue  that is permanent.  Once a Flat Rate Box is sealed it has  to be  destroyed in order to open it.  So  someone took a knife,  cut the box and  took  the contents out.  We  don't  know  if  that  person was  actually  interested  in  exotic fruits and snacks but  maybe  he (or she)   was  expecting something more valuable.

All  the information that came together with  the empty  box  was "we found this empty box"  -  no  information where  this  box  was  found,  on what  day  and time. 

This  is  how USPS  handles cases of  theft,  looks like they  know  what is going on and  they don't care.
