Post by Samsonite18 »

Can anyone shed some light on this for me please. Put on a duty and start at my first house following the bundle then after first 20 houses it started from the start again same number of houses so I took it out kept it separate carried on with the bundle to the end, then redid the same 20 houses at the end. How has that happened.

The person doing your walkyesterday probably cut off and someone has put the bundle back in without re sorting them.

No there was no mail left off yesterday frame was clear. Someone else put mail in for me coming in this morning and someone else pulled it out for me as I was prepping another frame.

Very very confusing. And annoying. Find out who 'helped' you and have a word.

Ok imma go Sherlock Holmes on this one.I came to this conclusion by a process of deduction, but it's a guess.

Someone has done the walk recently, but in order to finish early they skipped the first 20 houses. They tied the 20 houses, and hid the bundle in a discreet location to avoid being caught willfully delaying mail. They then slipped the bundle back into your walk so the mail goes out and you do the work for them covering their tracks.

The person who put mail in for you is unlikely to have done it as they would have had the time to throw the willfully delayed mail back on the frame. Creating a perfect crime.

PRIMARY SUSPECT- The person who pulled the mail out for you would have enough time to slip in an old bundle, but could easily have been caught if they tried to put mail in. So they'd likely toss a bundle while no one was looking.

It could have been anyone who had the chance. but like I said this is just a theory, if that makes sense.
