Tracking 2 stolen cards

[bandrus1]

I hope this ok to post here. If you don't mind keeping a lookout for these 2 cards

They were stolen by a USPS employee on Monday the 28 or Tuesday the 29 between NY and Maryland

I hope that there will be some sort of resolution to this. Sorry you're going through this experience. As someone who has also gone through it, in the past, it sucks.

I am pretty shocked both how prevalent and brazen USPS employees are. There was really no way to target this

How do you know that they were stolen by a USPS employee?

I drop off at my PO

Overnight shipping

Person Receives package with signature confirmation.

It was never not in USPS possession. Tape was also added to the exterior packaging between Me and the persons home PO

Likely was on one of the various commercial airlines during the overnight, the USPS does not fly it's own packages. So handled by a few others as well.

Talk to your local Postmaster they can provide more detailed tracking info, however once the contents of the overnight from one destination to another were placed in the larger postal bin, it would only show details for the bulk not each piece of mail until arriving at the local sorting facility for delivery.

Was package insured? I typically pack stuff so any tampering would be evident upon sight…

I've had a similar situation happen (dropped off with USPS clerk, package opened, items stolen, package resealed and delivered). I filed a claim - I think you have to have receipts - and have never received payment for anything so fast in my life. They don't like this happening so should have an incentive to make it right as quickly as possible

A few years ago I shipped a PSA graded card in a bubble mailer to a member here. When he received it the bubble mailer had been cut open and the card was gone. At the time It was a $60 or so card. I didn't insure it. I talked to my local postmaster. He agreed that it was probably stolen by a postal employee but he wouldn't do anything about it. Several months later the card showed up in an online auction as part of a set they were selling. The set was mostly raw with a few PSA graded cards. I called the auction house but they wouldn't do anything since I didn't do a police report. The card is still in my PSA registry. No one has tried to register it. My guess is that it was removed from the slab.

Was it not sent registered mail ?

Either party can file a insurance claim, I might recommend the receiving party file the claim-- unless the receiver was a friend etc. If the Postal Insurance should deny the claim, your private insurance carrier will help cover your loss--

Doesn't sound like it. I will venture that OP will definitely be going that route in the future.

I had a package stolen when I dropped it off directly at the PO and had tracking info. The cell company initially charged me and then reversed the charge when I provided proof of tracking. Apparently somewhere along the way a non-USPS firm was involved and the package was stolen at that point. I filed a report at USPS and included tracking info.

End result was no loss to me as I had proof of shipment. I never heard the result from that point on.
