Am I stating the obvious when I say I think an opportunist has seen the receipt still attached to the parcel and assumed a claim will not be made on it and just taken it.
I have been to the PO before and had to ask for my receipt when sending a recorded item, on a couple of occasions in fact, so it isn't unknown.

Thats a bit cynical isn't it???

Has the OP stated anywhere that the item is 'of value'?

Also I've seen many an SD that has the receipt attached to the item but the customer has the item number.
