A Norwegian art gallery has confessed that it has lost a Rembrant etching worth £5,400 as a result of sending it in the general post.
The gallery's chairman Ole Derje said they had used regular mail as couriers and insurance were "quite expensive". The etching remains lost in the Norwegian postal system, or more likely stolen by some crooked bastard.
I have to order shoes by mail order. Once, a pair of shoes sent to me were lost by Royal Mail. They weren't very expensive but it took weeks and weeks to get the cost of the shoes refunded. In the meantime I ended up ordering new shoes from elsewhere.
Have you ever been a victim of postal theft? Have you ever sent anything valuable in the post and got away with it?
When you go to post anything at the Post Office these days the counter staff try and rip you off by selling you an overpriced postal service, and it's hard to know what postal service to use as there are so many.
Maybe you've bought or sold something on eBay and been stung by their ridiculous policies.
I once sent an eBay scammer a turd in a butty box. He was expecting a Samsung camcorder.
