A postal worker who spent 10 years hoarding packages of pornographic DVDs and female lingerie in his attic is facing jail.
Following a tip-off Royal Mail investigators raided Alec Clark's home and found his attic filled with old packages and delivery receipts.
When confronted the 35-year-old admitted he had taken them.
He told Peterborough Today: "It seems I'm really into something that's overtaken my mind. I had no intention of doing anything with it."
Prosecutor Richard Brown told Peterborough Crown Court: "An investigation uncovered 10 postal packets and receipts from a variety of different companies, including Pabo, who sell sex toys and Figleaves, a women's lingerie firm.
"They found sex toys, underwear, lingerie and books that had been sent through the post."
He managed to escape detection for so long because he would open up multiple delivery packages, take out one or two items, then do up the box again and deliver it.
Defence attorney, Sara Young said Clark faced a jail term.
"This is a very serious matter. There was a large breach of trust involved. It does cross the custody threshold."
A spokesman for Royal Mail said: "The overwhelming majority of our people are honest and we have a zero tolerance policy to any dishonesty."

You only had to ask and I would have given you some of my stuff Oh and that link doesn't work - but I'm thinking of using some of our videos on there.
I'm confused as to how an 'attic full of packages' can become '10 packets' uncovered. If he only took 10 packets over 10 years that's only 1 a year! Not exactly the great train robbery and hardly worth blackening the name of the Postal service through the media? Great now not only are we all thieves but sex maniacs too!

Now I wonder if there is a hidden reason for certain businesses, politicians and media outlets to smear the characters of delivery posties, but no I don't think so - I mean there is no sign of imminent industrial unrest is there ,

I wouldn't worry about that, the header of the thread has a spelling mistake (at least I think it's a typo and it's not about someone who likes the waccy baccy ).
