What?!?! A member of the post office stole something?!!? Noooo, couldn't be. That never happens...

Let me guess, he kept the envelopes and sleeves as evidence. Could've been the perfect crime.

Oh sure...this guy will serve time for theft. He's one of the "little people".

With the current crop of movies, I don't think he got much

What a sucker, blurays are worth a lot more.

I called the master general and told him my postman was stealing my net flicks and told them I would go to the FBI it nothing was done. They performed a sting and fired him the following week. Net Flicks need to sue the post office. I suggest everyone do it, it's quite

On the bright side, he now has plenty of time to watch his newly expanded DVD collection. Hurray for lockdown!!
