I actually had a situation where I had a Derek Jeter minor league autographed bat being delivered via FEDEX from the New York Yankees. I always make sure I'm home the day I have deliveries coming, and I meet the delivery driver at the door. FEDEX truck pulls up, driver leans the box on my door, then quickly runs back to his truck. I opened the door, saw that one end of the box was open, and yelled to the driver to come back. I showed him the opened box (No doubt in my mind that he knew it was open), had him call FEDEX to tell them the box was empty, and that I was on my way to FEDEX.

I get to FEDEX, and the manager had me wait in his office, while he went to check. 45 minutes later, the manager comes in with the bat. Said they found the bat in one of the bins, so it must have fell out of the box, which I knew was a bunch of bull crap.

No doubt a FEDEX employee saw on the box that it came from the New York Yankees, knew it was a bat box, and attempted to steal it.

I was lucky that this worked out for me.
