If he's been with USPS for a while, he makes a decent amount of money. It isn't like they're underpaid, even with two kids to support. That does not justify stealing.

ya know... the moral and parental side of me says that what he is doing is wrong as well as illegal and I would say turn him in.

BUT... if there was a chance that he was gonna find out it was me and do harm to my family or property...to be honest... that would make me hesitate.

it is one thing to put myself in harms way to help/save someone... and another thing to put myself in harms way to report someone.

I would like to think in the end I would just drop a dime... butI would probably wait a whiile so they might think it was someone else.

I am a coward.

Illegal but I wouldn't turn him in. I'd use it to my own advantage and start buying the latest movies from him :)

I would not report him but instead just pretend like you never saw them. Buying some DVDs would be a bad idea because you could be prosecuted as well.

Yeah, go ahead and rat him out.... that's just what the Man needs, more gutless candyazz squealers to help them do their job. Next time your over there, just grab a few titles you like and say thanks. Never call the pigs! Never help the Man!

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!

Do you get pissed off when things you sent or things you're expecting to receive gets pissed off in the mail? For the good of all, including yourself, you need to report this jacka$$.

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?

I'd turn him in. The guys a thief, plain and simple. He almost certainly not just stealing dvds either. He's stealing other stuff. Birthday cards with cash and gift cards in them, stuff like that.

leave the poor guy alone, hes just trying to make a living dont get him fired from an (somewhat) honest living of 15 yrs, netflix has insurance they will live. if you turn him in imagine what his kids will have to go through, they will prolly get into drugs, etc while their dad is in prison, imo just buy the dvd and myob, i may go as far as convincing him to stop but thats it

The mail system is qute the oddity. It is somewhat of an archaic and yet sacred system. It has, for may years, been the sole communication and trusted entity within which our nations citizens have always placed their trust.

This man is not merely a government employee.

As a seemingly ordinary US Postal worker, he is relied on to let this countries citizens communicate freely under the protection of the Unites States government.

I amy be overdoing it here, but this guy represents our nation, and he is doing a horrid job of it.

We are to entrust our most private thoughts and our monetary gifts to a man who is directly and blatanty disrespecting the United States?!


And now Gosemaster stops with the bullsh!t:D :

I don't give a fvk whether it was DVD's or Kids' letters to Santa. His job is one where the indvidual is entrusted with the privacy and freedoms of this nations citizens, poor and rich, white or black etc. To see someone in such an honorable position disgracing himself like that is outrageous and he is a fvking moron for even trying it.

Would I turn him in?

Well, I won't say, but I am quite sure of what I would do.
