+1 Yeah, I'd feel relatively safe. Sorry to hear about the loss...

glad you got insurance.
and glad they are graded, hopefully they show up and someone sees the serial number and the guy gets busted

Ya I'm guessing whoever stole the box from the yard probably doesn't know what they have. If they go to a shop and sell them then whoever buys them won't know they are stolen. It's just a crappy situation.

I always wonder in these situations whether it even made it to the persons house. What's to stop an employee at the final destination post office whose sorting the mail for delivery to see that a package is insured, look up the value of the insurance, notice that's it's for 2K and say hmm I'll mark this as signature waived and sneak it my locker. I mean whenever I go to my post office to use the window I can see right into the back and controls seem to be non-existent. That always made more sense to me than someone sneaking up to someone's porch or reaching into someone's mailbox to grab a package. Whatever way it went down it sucks. Sorry it happened.

Thanks, I appreciate it. Just want the whole thing to end. You never think it will happen til it does. Thank goodness for the insurance. But until I get reimbursed I'll be sweating the situation. I mean they could always deny the claim. It just sucks.

Sorry this has happened, Jamie. Looks like I should have gotten these from you when I had the chance awhile back. bummer.

I'm not sure if it's the problem in your case, but USPS came up with a new label for express mail. We started seeing the new labels a few weeks ago, and offices are using the old ones until they run out.

It's possible that the carrier saw your signature and wasn't as familiar with the new forms. When we scan an express delivered, the scanner asks if it is waived or not and won't let it deliver without a sig unless it is waived.

I hope that's not what happened here but I see a lot of confusion with the stupid changed labels.

Jamie,

I'm really sorry to hear about the theft. Best wishes for a quick resolution.
