Grade A Bullshit.

Ok....so as I grew up....my grandfather (who is like a father to me) took care of me alot alongside my grandmother while my then single mother was at work. He introduced me to Star Wars, Indiana Jones....all those classic greats. But he especially LOVED Indiana Jones.

So every few months I've been saving up and buying him a full sized original movie poster for the 4 movies and getting them framed. He's gotten 2 so far and I had ordered the Last Crusade poster for him for X-mas.

This is where the bullshit hits.

Jules and I had been in town most of today trying to finish up some shopping and a quick run out to my parents place. When we got back to our neighborhood, we stopped to check the mail. We open our box....and there's a huge mailing tube in it. Ok cool...its my grandfathers poster. Nope...just the goddamn mailing tube, ripped open with no poster inside and a neato little red letter stamp on the tube that says "Aiken Received unsealed".

Ok the fuck?

Its not the seller....because I've dealt with him 10+ times in the past and he's always been great. Has 100% feedback on ebay. The local post office received it unsealed. Which means that between the seller and me....some fucking postal worker decided to take a peak and steal my grandfathers christmas present.

So Monday morning...I get to spend God knows how long dealing with government workers trying to get this all sorted out. I sent the seller a message letting him know whats up. Maybe he'll be kind enough to send me another one. Who knows.

If there was a way I could find the fuckers name and address that did this....he'd get a very nasty visit from me. This fucker broke a federal law.

Karma is a bitch. And I hope it bites him/her square in the ass good and hard. Federal Ass-rape Prison.

That's bullshit all right. The fucker probably stole it and then stamped it himself.

Unfortunately, lots of packages and items go "missing" in the Postal system, UPS, DHL, and FedEx this time of year. This time last year I had my new Dell laptop stolen from within the local DHL facility before it could be delivered to me. When I contacted DHL about it they admitted that this unfortunately was a common occurrence. Sadly, I got a similar conformation from Dell when I had to have them send me a replacement laptop. The old adage that a locked door only keeps an honest man out holds true for packages and packing tape. Hope you can get a replacement in time for the Holidays.

Sorry to hear about your grandpa's present being stolen. Someone needs to take the trash out.
