I have had an autograph stolen by a postal worker. I bought a signed book from a retired baseball player. He mailed me the book with delivery confirmation. The padded mailer arrives, but it has been opened, a copy of the postal workers regulations handbook inserted, and retaped. I flipped out. I took it to the post office and demanded to know what was going on. They, of course, were skeptical and thought that maybe I put the book inside. I showed them that it was a postal employee handbook, and I have never worked for the post office.
That got them curious. They took pictures and filed a report. I had a detective for the postal service contact me and they had me send them all the stuff for evidence.
Months later I was informed that a postal worker, in the San Fransisco sorting hub, had been stealing mail. He put an employee handbook inside because the pakage would not be delivered empty since it had delivery confirmation with weight and all. I guess he snagged my book because he recognised the ball players name on the envelope.
The post office informed they did not recover the book, the employee was terminated and facing charges, and I could file a claim. Thankfully the ball player was super cool about it when I wrote him about it and sent me another signed book. (I did get that one)
