    i can see exactly what happened
    van driver is dropping off the foot posties bags in the pouch boxes(the 'new' grey boxes)
    he's caught a packet with a bag and not noticed it fall out the van
    its probably fell under the van
    i shouldnt happen but if you dont see it then your not looking for it

    Yes exactly that is probably what has happened but there is the £40 odd cost of the destroyed items for him to sort out.
    It has not helped because one day this week he recieved a letter contained in a plastic envelope with an enclosed letter from Royal Mail saying the letter
    had been recovered from a Royal Mail employee.
    The original letter was about six months old

    on your final point
    tracking down mail theft isnt easy
    it takes time to track down these people seeing patterns in reported losses
    Rm take it seriously with its own investigators but its not an easy task i can tell you
    look on it the other way that at least they do make the effort
