Last night I stopped by the Pharr Road Post Office to pick up my mail. One of my letters had been ripped open and the envelope stuffed back into my box.
The above photo is the exact condition I found my mail in when I took it out of my box. It just so happens that the PR company for Bobby Brown mailed me a free copy of Bobby’s new book. The note inside the envelope indicated that much — but the book was gone.
This is not the first time that someone at the Pharr Road location has rifled through my mail and helped themselves to whatever they want. For more than a year now, some my letters and packages have been opened by someone at the Pharr Road location.
The thief prefers mail that is sent to me by record labels or music industry related companies.
The reason I have a post office box is to prevent this very sort of thing from occurring! You don’t think that this type of thievery would be going on inside a Unites States post office!
I never said anything before last night because I just assumed the sender didn’t secure the envelopes before mailing them. Last night I decided I had enough! I raised Holy hell in that post office until I spoke with a supervisor.
After listening to my complaint, the supervisor went into the back and returned with the book in his hand. He told me that an unknown postal employee placed the book on his desk earlier this week.
The supervisor was very nice and he assured me that he would investigate.
Before you say the book accidentally fell out of the envelope — look at the picture again. That package was ripped open!
I’m writing this to let you know that if you have a post office box and you find your mail has been opened, it isn’t an accident. Ask questions and demand an explanation.
THAT IS GHETTO…AND A FELONY!
NUKKAS AINT BOUT NATHAN.
Dang! I’m sorry to hear your mail was vandalized. It’s that a federal offense? Tampering with someone’s mail? Can you press charges?
That is a damn shame. Divine is correct that is a felony.
Nobody respects things that don’t belong to them anymore.
That is absolutely ridiculous! That employee should be going to jail. You should be able to trust the USPS employees.
Eww that’s crazy….I would be pissed too! What’s even more crazy is the fact that they had the book right in the back. SMH.
hell nawwwwwwwwwwwww…sandra, this needs to be reported to someone above the supervisor…obviously the supervisor cant hold down the fort…what type of ghettorific, unhoefessional, crap is going on over there…
okay…now i need you to read the book or send it to me so we can get the scoop…
A Federal Felony at that…..
***scratching head*** comment awaiting moderation?!
There were people here who said they’ve been sending their loved ones gift cards, and by the time the envelope reaches it’s destination, the cards are gone. Also, their neighbors reported that their envelopes with checks for bills have gone missing,as well.
It’s that time of the year, but the last I heard, tampering with mail is a federal offense. I can’t see how you wouldn’t be bothered with this. I’d been done call the postmaster general…
So do you not have mail coming to your house because you don’t want folks getting ahold of that info?? Do you have a trusted friend that has an address you could use.
This is ridiculous I’m surprised you haven’t reported it before now. You should call the police on the spot while your still standing there with your open mail. Whoever the person is probably still had the book in their posession. If their stupid enough to lose their job over a book or CD they’re to stupid to know not to put the evidence with their possessions.
sandra, please make sure you contact the OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL @888-877-7644…
THE HELL?! I’d been had gone to complain. That’s some mess. Hell nawl. the supervisor found the book? huh? how did he….? wait.
and why would the dummy open the mail so harshly and then put it back empty? that’s dumb. finger prints please!!
p.s. look at sandra with the granite counter tops son! she made this “mail tampering” pic look all artistic and junk.
@miesha-If anything, the fool should have kept the doggone envelope! What was the purpose in leaving it???
as messed up as all of this is i am mad that the supervisor just went in the back and got it… they were probably the ones who took the damn thing and jus came back trying to play it off… thats sounds really fishy all itself… raising hell aint all i would’ve done… armageddon would have reigned… i would make sure that person didnt steal another thing from anybody. thats really messed up, and yes @ divine… that is a felony indeed
***scratching my head****
Why are my comments awaiting moderation?!?
Is it an ATL thing? Because my nephew was coming from school down there…and he made it to Chicago…HOWEVER, his laptop…DID NOT!!! I mean, they had to open up his suitcase and go all through his DRAWERS to get that!!!
That’s a sin…and a holy shame….
(by the way….that nice Supervisor…had your book all along, probably took it…heck, I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s the ONLY one that handles your mail…personally…
Hubby works for the USPS – you should contact the Postal Police by completing the following:

Good luck – by the way, I’ve heard some stories – your not alone.
CHANGE P.O BOXES SANDRA.
Sandra, I am happy that you raised sand with them. That is just plain wrong. It’s hard to trust anyone these days.
That same crap happens to me too! But this time when I send packages back home to my family in Cleve,Ohio! They either never get the packages or they recieve an empty box with nothing inside! The post office is off the hook now full of crackheads or something!
Changing P.O. Boxes will not help. The problem will continue especially if this issue is not rectified with the staff. I recommend pressing charges (if possible) and leave the post office location altogether after the monthly fees spent are refunded.
@ DB I was just getting ready to say that is a Bobby Brown book worth catching a charge – you can’t tamper w/ peeps mail.
Dead @ the SUP bringing the book out — change Post Offices Sandra.
cosigning with lala… I was thinking the same thing. How did it “mysteriously” turn up on his desk. Nucca please.
AND!!! It’s a federal crime, so they will seriously be in some ish.
nice table sandra mine just like that
Demand to see the cameras for the area. Somebody will fess up then. Call Channel Fox 5 news and let them do a whistle blower on that post office.
Stupid bastards.
The supervisor sounds suspect sandra….sorry to say it, but perhaps there’s more he’s not telling.
And i hate when it looks like someone has been fidgeting with my mail. I usually notice it when i get a check, or something that looks like a check, i don’t believe its my mailman, but someone who sorts the mail….these things gets under my skin
I take all mail that looks like its been opened back to the post office for an explanation. You know when the back of an envelope has about 10 pieces of scotch tape on it. I don’t wanna hear “it got damage in transit” bulls@#(!$!..
That supervisor coming right back with your book sounds real suspect and I hope you pursue it to find the thief.
Do not let this slide, Aunty Sandra! This is a federal offense and the opportunist who opened your mail should be punished. This girl that I know use to buy checks from a postal worker. I could not believe this shhhh.
Postal workers are thieves and are crazy. Not all of them but a handful are. How many times has a postal worker gone crazy shooting up the entire post office? I am telling you, they are very deceptive.
I do not send money orders or anything important in the mail unless it is certified with signiture request. Why? I sent a $500 money order in the mail. The money got lost in the mail. I bet a postal worker took it. Damn crooks!
oh hells no get em auntie..i hope that book was really worth it for prison time!
i don’t blame you sandra. i would’ve raised holy hell too.
Someone at the post office knows who you are and is targeting your mail. If you are serious about the supervisor giving you the book back then he is in on it. That crap about an annonymous employee is just that: crap.
see people be thinking you getting boookooo money and jewells thru the mail. lol
