Mail carrier dumped hundreds of letters on side of road and quit

Waiting for a letter that never arrived? It might have ended up dumped by a U.S. Postal Service worker along a South Jersey street.

A Facebook photo shared more than 3,000 times shows a dozen mail bins stuffed with items discarded in the 3900 block of River Road in Pennsauken.

The mail, discovered Sunday, was dated Aug. 8 and out for delivery from the Roxborough Station Post Office in Philadelphia, according to Special Agent Scott Balfour, with the U.S. Postal Service Office of Inspector General, which investigates misconduct in the agency.

    Philly has got a bad enough reputation without dumping mail by the side of the road..

    Back in the 60's I had a guy go out for a pack of cigarettes, must be still looking.
    I haven't seen since.

    I have a package that left Brownstown, PA Oct 2 went to Lancaster, PA then to Philly then to Prospect, Pa then to Glenolden, PA and now it's back to the Philadelphia Distribution center.
    Kinda reminds me of the song about the MTA.
    Thankfully it only a $20 item I purchased on the bay.

    That is very sad, however, the person will likely be charged in Federal Court. Bad decision on his part. Cheers, RickO
