It’s just urban prospecting.

It's because we don't pay our postal first responders enough.

I came here to post this very comment, and I see yours is six hours old. If you're not fist, you're last.

Diversity hire?

"Joivian Tjuana Hayes"—what do you think?

[Don't look at me! (No longer muted!)]

Did she get permission from Congress?

[Stupid Government Tricks]

Probably not even the Confederate Congress.

No roundup today?

"Hayes reportedly stole between $300,000 and $324,000 in checks, gold, money orders, and collectible coins and currency, including a $10 Confederate States of America bill."

She's minor league in comparison to the members of Congress and the Senate who have been stealing from us for decades.

[Use the Schwartz]

Tjuana guess what state she's from?

Yawn. They've been stealing for years. Don't send cash in the mail and at least make sure your envelopes aren't transparent if you do.

[Vernon Depner]

The techniques for check stealing have improved—they're not safe to mail, either.

If you can't trust the USPS in Compton, I mean...

That was the WHOLE IDEA of letting Anthony Comstock rifle, rob and burn the U.S. Mail as of 1973. The Law is The Law--vote to repeal it or deal with it!
