To the editor :
Birthday cards going through our post offices should be insured when sent long or short distance.
The reasoning is that it takes longer than 10 days and if, by chance, you place a few dollars in the birthday card, it might be opened by an employee and theft might occurs.
For example, I placed a birthday card for my granddaughter in our mailbox on Friday, Nov. 29, and it arrived at the Thomasville, N. C., home on Dec. 9.
My granddaughter reviewed her birthday card envelope and stated to her mother that the “envelope looked suspicious.”
The birthday card envelope had been torn, even with extra tape on the seams of the card.
Somehow a person had taken the $6 out of the envelope, which was for the 6th birthday of my granddaughter.
It was not so much of the $6 that was taken and the disappointment by my granddaughter.
It was the fact that a trusted federal employee would be so low to steal even though there are security cameras within the different postal locations.
I would suggest this is not the first time of theft within these locations.
Who can we trust?
