Don't look at me. I've never been in Baltimore. I have witnesses!
I’ll make the same comment I’ve made before - I love your sense of humor!

Oy! I only ship FedEx Priority Overnight, signature required. While I’ve never had a problem in either direction, this post is going to feed into my slight touch of paranoia, and keep me up at night! Did you notice the super high grades of the stolen coins from the FedEx box at the top of the OP?

Wow, during show and after show heists. At a loss for words & insurance premium increases.
I am glad to see NCIC is on the case(s).... Terrible to see the show and shipment thefts.... Cheers, RickO

I don't think this is going to be easily disposed of...

The Goose and the Common
Authors unknown ©1700s
They hang the man and flog the woman
Who steals the goose from off the common
Yet let the greater villain loose
That steals the common from the goose
The law doth punish man or woman
That steals the goose from off the common
But lets the greater felon loose
That steals the common from the goose
The law locks up the hapless felon
who steals the goose from off the common
but lets the greater felon loose
who steals the common from the goose
The fault is great in man or woman
Who steals a goose from off a common
But what can plead that man's excuse
Who steals a common from a goose

Fed-Ex seems to be getting worse! I have a package that was supposed to be delivered Saturday Signature required. Then I get an email it's arriving Friday. Nope! Saturday afternoon I get an automated phone call to make sure someone would be home Sunday as it required a signature. Nope! Then the website says Monday. Nope! Today it just says delayed delivery pending. Their tracking is also way less precise than in the past!
That dealer Jackson lost big. Feel sorry for him
Sheesh, is that really the only one with TV's?
