Gentleman steals over 1,000 pounds of mail while working as postman
by Carla Sinclair from on (#3ENSB)
An Italian postman has had a hard time parting with other people's mail. The 56-year-old gentleman, from Vicenza Italy, has been hoarding mail in his garage - mail that included letters, bills, statements, and pamphlets - that go as far back as 2010.
He had stashed over 1,000 pounds of mail in yellow plastic containers that belonged to the post office - 43 of them in all. But he now must part with his collection, as a recycling company discovered it when they came to clean out his garage.
The Vicenza post office promised to deliver all of the mail - even if some of it is eight years too late.
