Thieves in the employ of shipping services (USPS, UPS, FedEx, etc. etc., et al.) are nothing new. I had a CANOE stolen from Amazon somewhere along the line that was intended to be a Christmas gift for my girls a few years back. (To their credit, this is before Amazon started doing their own deliveries in the gray trucks). I was at a loss, and my office mailroom people were like yep, someone stole that - just walked it out of a facility in all probability. You don't exactly lose a freaking canoe that easily, LOL.

In terms of cards, there have been myriad past stories of dishonest mail carriers and the like. One was a collector himself who got onto people and looked at return addresses and was just happily adding to his own collection over a period of years via theft. You have to be surprised at how bold some people can be.
