 From USPS:

A clerk recently pleaded guilty in federal court after he was arrested for stealing DVD movies at the Houston P&DC.

Inspectors observed the clerk, a 32-year employee, placing DVD movies into a plastic grocery bag. They took him into custody and recovered the grocery bag — containing 122 DVD movies still inside their mailing envelopes — from the clerk’s vehicle. The clerk admitted stealing DVD movies from the mail for about a year. A search of his residence yielded a total of 8,177 DVD movies worth more than $117,000.

    5. How about a supervisor that takes dvds out of the mailstream, decodes and copies them on USPS computers, returns them to the mailstream and sells the copies???????

    6. anonymous,
    Are you kidding? That is still theft and crazy. You have a responsibility to report that to the OIG or at least to a higher level Manager.

    11. Crazy mailhandler is full of kitty krap. The OIG investgates credible reports.

    Really? Because I had false charges made against me and refuted them in front if the Inspector the OIG referred the case to. But does OIG make forgery charges against the other guy? Nope. Only goes after USPS employees. Told me to file with the local authorites.

    13. Will this guy still be able to collect a retirement from the USPS?

    14. They (employees who steel) are freaking idiots and very stupid – and they still don’t learn the lesson.

    It doesn’t cease to amaze me how every other month another one gets caught.

    In their own little stupid mind they think they are smarter than the last one that got caught and think they can outsmart the OIG’s and will not get caught.

    Fellows, ever tempted? Don’t even try, you will be caught.

    15. Pistol said, in part, “I had false charges made against me and refuted them in front if the Inspector the OIG referred the case to. But does OIG make forgery charges against the other guy? Nope. Only goes after USPS employees. Told me to file with the local authorites”.
    As info, Pistol, the OIG’s jurisdiction is internal crime. If this guy wasn’t an employee he’s not within their jurisdiction. Sorry. The Inspectors, on the other hand, work external crimes.
