My post contents were stolen, valued at €300 in August. I sent a plastic sealed envelope "International Tracked & Signed For" from UK to France and the postage cost me £8. The plastic sealed envelope eventually reached its French destination after 6 days, sporting a fist sized hole and all the content had been removed. The thief had the audacity to put the empty package back in the postal system after stealing the contents! So somewhere either in the UK or France there is a dirty thieving scumbag operating within the postal system, helping themselves to other people's property. The empty package eventually arrived at its destination wrapped in a La Poste plastic wallet! I have raised the theft with Royal Mail UK, who have only reimbursed my postage cost, despite the Post Office serving staff member's statement at the time of my post office counter transaction that the compensation level was up to £250 for this service. I pray for an investigation and that the thief will be caught and punished for their crimes as I'm sure this was not a one-off lapse of morals. THIS SITUATION SHOULD NOT OCCUR WITH A TRACKED AND SIGNED FOR POSTAL SERVICE WHICH SADLY PROVES IT IS CLEARLY NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE.
