Postal worker pulls a Newman
A postal worker in Michigan admitted this week to hiding thousands of letters and packages in a storage facility she had planned to keep renting “until the day she died.” Jill Hull says she was overwhelmed by the job, and instead of asking for help, she took it upon herself to put the 10,000 pieces of mail in storage.
Unfortunately, this is not exactly an isolated incident. While the vast majority of mail gets delivered eventually, in 2008, there were 333 cases of mail being stolen, delayed or destroyed from North Dakota to North Carolina.
The NY Daily News has a good account on their website.
