- Go to A LOUSY THIEF stole my birthday present!! Have they no shame??
Quirks,
My Gawd, I really don't know what the hell is wrong with people or how they sleep at night after doing such horrid things. I agree, karma does play a part. It will most certainly bite them in the keester one day. However, we can only HOPE they realize WHY it happened to
them!

You could get one of those slats in the door, like a drop box.
Then again, little pranksters can put all sorts of crap in there.
Best bet is to convince your mom that after this episode, sending cash is not a wise option.

Happy belated birthday to you, Quirkyalone.
I am sorry your birthday money was stolen. It's so sad, you know your mother wanted you to have it, because she cares about you! Mothers are like that!

(As for the $ - for sure, some day life will bring an event to the theif and it will immediately be clear in their heart that it was because of this. Aside from that, a weight has been added for their conscience to have to bear.)

This really sucks, quirky--
I've never had a letter broken into, but I foolishly left my garage door open a few years ago, and when I returned, my nice mountain bicycle and inflatable boat were gone. This is too bad for your mother too. Hemlocker

I truly believe that...even if we aren't "conscious" of these things...they still exist. You can't get away with stuff like that without consequences.

You know, Quirky , it won't get your money back, but I bet that if you
contact the post office where your mom dropped the letter you could at least file a claim notifying U.S.P.S. that there is a thief somewhere in the chain. I am sure that with scheduling,time sheets, etc. they could at least narrow down the security breach. It could be that they have had other complaints. This of course will require YOUR time and effort, but may prove worthwhile.
I think most theives do not have a conscience at all!

i was thinking about that today. what looks like things we get away with here are things we must answer for in our conscience sooner or later. nothing gets by our judgment of ourselves and the choices we make.
