I have commented on this phenomenon before, as it applied to coin shipments
that have gone astray on their way to me. I received a letter (not

carried to the post office in a company's mail crate. Doesn't anyone ever
look at this "equipment" to verify that it is indeed empty? I mean, for a
period of over four months it escaped detection?
