Mailman stealing Netflix Movies... I saw him!!!!

[frankgomez75]

I know a mailman who steals HUNDREDS of Netflix movies. I saw them at his house. He steals them from work, and not just 1 or 2 but HUNDREDS!!!

This is what happened. A guy I know asked if I wanted to buy some movies so i asked him which ones did he have. He says, well I have all kinds of movies. So I asked if I could see which ones he had. He tells me to go over to his crib. I stop by his apt later on that day to see what movies he has for sale. He comes out to the living room with 2 HUGE BOXES full of DVD's in Netflix Sleeves. I'm like WTF!!!!

He says, "My dad is a postman and he takes a couple of boxes out to the trash, and later on when leaving his shift he takes them to his truck and brings them home." So he tells me I can pick any movie I want for like $3 each, including NEW RELEASES!

This guy is like 22yrs old and his dad works for the Unites States Postal Service. His dad is like 47yrs old and has been working there for 15yrs. His dad supports both his sons (20yrs old and 16yrs old) and they have no mother or any other family. The extra money he makes from the DVD's go towards groceries and clothes for his 2 sons.


What do you guys think I should do?

 

[Landroval]

call the postal inspector -- that is a serious crime, mailman or not

 

[imported_Kensai]

Umm... Yeah,.. Okay.. That's illegal.

 

[dug777]

buy some dvds off him.

 

[frankgomez75]

how do I do a poll... I wanna see what ppl think

 

[jagec]

mail tampering = BAD BAD BAD. Report him.

 

[Landroval]

you mean you want to know if they condone felony activity and feel you should participate or not? :Q

Mail theft is a US federal crime. Report his ass so bubba can give him some lovin'.

NO!!!
I'm wondering if I should just walk away and be like I never saw it.... or should I turn him in....

Mind you, I wouldn't actually buy the movies, and I didn't. I'm just wondering if I should do something about it or just leave things be and let someone else catch him

 

[Aimster]

you're dead

 

[shortspanishguy]

do not buy any DVDs from him but dont turn him in.

 

[BRObedoza]

blackmail him

 

[Wheezer]

Me I would report him.

Why?

Well he is 47 years old, he is responsible enough to raise a family, hold a job for 15 years and provide for 2 boys...I would say he is responsible enough to take the consequences of his actions...he made a choice, a concious choice and he KNEW what he was doing was wrong....like the saying goes...can't do the time?...don't do the crime.

Ask yourself how you would feel if he was stealing from YOUR parents, grandparent brother or sister....if you think movies is all this guy is scamming....your are mistaken....besides you KNOW what to do...have the balls and do it.

Plant a .torrent file of the new Star Wars on his PC and activate it.

hmmm..... then that would make me an accomplice :roll:

 

[Viper GTS]

Report him.

Mail theft is NOT cool, even if it is "just" DVD's.

Aside from ethical considerations, it is not worth the potential hassles to turn him in. There's a reason they call it "going postal"

It's only a matter of time until someone else does anyway, if what you say is true.

Sorry, I thought every thread tonight was required to referance SW:III. Contact the proper authorities, there's no way to rationalize pure theft.

The problem is this guy knows where I live and they might retaliate or try to get even for me turning him in.

 

[ironcrotch]

Meh.. I wouldn't report it.

That is why you don't give your name when you report it.

This will just make netflix raise their prices and then we will all whine then.

 

[QuitBanningMe]

blackmail is the correct answer here

You just answered your own question.

Find a payphone and inform a higher postal authority of his actions without telling them your name if you feel threatened. If they don't act on your tip it's their fault and you can know that you tried to help.
