After receiving a note through his letterbox stating that an expected parcel was unable to be delivered, Lincoln resident Kraeg Davis took to reviewing his CCTV footage, and was somewhat surprised at the result.

Kraeg, who lives on Moorland Avenue, was at home during the so-called ‘attempted delivery’ at 7.20am, on December 19, and heard no knock on the door or ring of the bell.

After some confusion as to why he missed the delivery, Kraeg reviewed the CCTV footage, which appears to show a man approaching the front door of Kraeg’s property armed only with a Royal Mail headed note.

Kraeg Davis said: “They didn’t knock, ring the door bell or even have the parcel in their hand. They were even nice enough to close my letter box very carefully so I didn’t hear them.

“I spoke with Royal Mail at 8am this morning. Their only response was it would be re-delivered on Saturday. Nothing other than that, and no reference number – even though I asked for one.

“I posted the CCTV video on my Facebook page as several of my friends in Lincoln have complained about the same issue.”

A spokesperson for Royal Mail said: “We are currently investigating this issue, and have nothing further to add at this time.”

‘Sorry you were out’

Earlier this month, a former Royal Mail senior manager spoke to BBC Radio Nottingham and made some surprising claims on this issue.

While Royal Mail insisted they were unaware, the ex-boss said that ‘posties’ filled out the “sorry you were out” cards before their rounds had begun. Listen to him here. https://audioboo.fm/boos/1777416-delivery-cards#t=0m0s" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

A few years back there was one feller who did indeed write his cards out before he left the office.
The Lino held him up as a shining example of legible writing and filling the cards out fully. Yes cos he didn't have to write the bastards out in gales and sleet

Something smells here.
The CCTV image says exactly 0721...
The card says...exactly 0721...
But the CCTV image shows him walking straight up and putting the card through and he allegedly wrote it out beforehand but somehow knew exactly to the minute what time he would be there?
Was he psychic perhaps?
And who puts the exact time to the minute on a card?

If you look at the 2 on the time and the 2 on the date they are completely different.
The card has obviously been tampered with.
It's a set up.
The defense rests it's case m'lud.

Strange how the 2s in the time and the date are written differently as well. A case for Miss Marple.

I agree, who puts 7.21 and they don't like the same writing!!
Doesn't sound right to me!

The other argument is. Postie takes packet to door with PDA. Customer does not answer. Postie goes back to van and writes out 739 and takes back to customers door. I do this quite often on bike when 739s in trouser pocket have run out and forget to replenish. This bloke is definitely trying to get this postie in the sh.t. For what reason?

[martin the green]

is it a postman

[ganda]

Is it a a post man, yes I reckon it is, you can see the long pocket on his right leg.

Im afraid this happens a lot in our office. The runners write out the dockets before they go out. Hence the different writing. The other half of the team has posted it inserting the time from the Pda.

Question: Who is out on on delivery at 7:21!
