*The* Gift-It-On Thread

[RonW]

And this problem isn't only with RM.
Had an issue with stolen contents from an envelop, which was clearly cut open at one corner. Dutch Mail initially declined any form of responsibility, dismissing my claim, saying that it was a sortingmachine that torn the envelop open.
I contacted the sender and only after he filed a complaint too, they were willing to look into it.... Guess what the result was.....

But anyway.....
The thermosflask is still up for grabs!!!

Royal Mail can collect enough evidence to track down the thieves. If a few people complain then there will usually be enough evidence to pinpoint the problem areas. Once they have an idea of where to look, Royal Mail can (and will) take it from there.

A few years ago at work we had parcel force issues, their investigations unit soon got on the act and asked to send us dummy parcels containing diguised tracking units, they then turned up minutes after the delivery and inspected the "honey traps", losses stopped and driver disappeared! Apparently fake ID had been used to get the job.

I was being deliberately vague about exactly how they'd go about it.

They weren't exactly secretive, you would have thought a courier would notice 4 burly chaps in 2 cars following him around, but then I guess the brain of Britain would not have stolen from his own deliveries that looked high value by cutting the bottom seals, taking odd items and sealing it back up. Gee I never thought to look at both ends!!
