A Royal Mail post van containing mail was stolen by thieves from Watford on Saturday.

According to police, at about 9.50am, a postman was doing his rounds in Leavesden Road, when the van was taken.

Officers were unable to confirm whether the van had been locked at the time of the theft.

The van was recovered at 11.20am in a secluded area close to Garston Fire Station.

Daniel Phillips, Hertfordshire Constabulary spokesman, said: "A quantity of mail was stolen from the vehicle as a result of the incident.

"Police are investigating and are working with Royal Mail."

Anyone with information is asked to call police on non-emergency number 101 quoting crime reference C4/12/1326.

Inside job?

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

yes. i hope the customer opens the door quick or by the time i write a 739 out normally have some tosser giving
me abuse for blocking the road.the traffic is so bad now if someone did nick my vehicle they would take to long to
get away.most roads have cars parked on both sides so there is only the middle of the road to stay in.
i see most companys who deliver leave there vehicles running ( dhl,tnt,ups,parcelforce,). if there are gaps in
the street i park up and lock my vehicle but this is becoming less and less.
perhaps we should go back to having driving assists ?
