What do you think made this particular piece of mail stand out to the perp ? How could the thief know about anything of value inside the envelope just by looking at it or holding it ? Was it perhaps an inside job by a USPS person who had advance knowledge about the value of the contents ?

I assume your local authorities are already looking into the chain of custody.? We all here hope this ends well for you. Please keep us posted , thanks.
Most postages have the cost displayed. Just by knowing postal rates you can see if and how much insurance it has. Most cards and other small things of value I send in a small flat rate box with zero insurance. Have never lost one and I have sent 100s of them. The most valuable being around 30K with most of the value being one card(25K). I have used Registered once when sending a small handful of 100s to a fellow member but that could have been delivered faster in a covered wagon with old horses.
