I did not have anything of mine stolen and in no way am I trying to defame any postal workers who may be on these forums.

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
Not only just probation, but steal $68,000.00 and pay restitution of only $11,000.00? Seems to me that the judge is encouraging other dishonest postal workers to do the same thing. If you get caught you are still ahead of the game!
Exactly what I'm running into with my "lost" package to PWCC. I've talked to the Office of the Inspector General, Consumer affairs and tried to file a complaint. I even filed a police report but since the package is listed as "lost", they can't do anything.
The answer I keep getting from USPS is "sorry for losing your package, please file an insurance claim".
Appreciate today-

I am always amazed at the moronic return addresses that even sophisticated dealers put on their packages. "Joe's Baseball Cards" on the top line, and then the address.
Sure makes a thief's life easier!
"How did she identify the package contents?"

Yeah, PSA and PWCC are both very good with that.
If I were auctions houses I'd use a different, generic, name on my correspondences as a level of security. A crook can always google PWCC on their smartphone and know that they are likely dealing with a valuable package.
I was met with the same 'arrogance' recently, when a postal worker forged my signature on a Registered insured $25k+ package and left on doorstep
I remember you mentioning that a couple months ago and that's just crazy for someone to do that. Luckily you still got your package.

I think quite a few of the cards were recovered. The $11.000 is to cover the value of the card that the thief sold.

That being said, financially she is no worse off now than if she didn't steal the cards. Some deterrent, huh?

At least she lost her job.
How did she identify the package contents?
Perhaps she didn't.

Likely by the address googled on her smartphone.
I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often
Getting caught or the stealing?
As far as jail time yes she should get a little out of it. I think it's along the lines of the carrier taking the cash the system isn't going to spend the money taking it all the way. They offer a plea deal and save the time and money. Besides some states have theft dollar amounts like hers relatively low end felonies. So they figure plea early and save time and money as opposed to stretching it out and her only getting 6-18 months in jail.
She should've got jail time for such a lame comment to the court. How about an I am so sorry my actions caused so much hardship for everyone involved.
She is scum and always will be scum. Her siblings that participated are cut from the same cloth unless they really thought sis was all of a sudden big into sports cards.
Found this from an article from sportscollectorsdaily-I'd say she got off too light-
"The charge of mail theft by a postal employee provides for a sentence of no greater than five years in prison, three years of supervised release and a fine of $250,000 and restitution.Actual sentences for federal crimes are typically less than the maximum penalties. Sentences are imposed by a federal district court judge based upon the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors."

If she was carrying a one pound priority medium box and sees $400 of postage on the box she might reasonably assume there is something worth several thousands of dollars inside.
