A Philadelphia-area mailman has been accused of hoarding some 20,000 pieces of mail, including a $900 check written in December 2007 and a college acceptance letter from earlier that same year, for the past 13 years. "Dave The Mailman," as he was known to people along his route, currently has unknown whereabouts; the tubs and tubs of mail, which contained a few items postmarked during the Clinton administration, were discovered after he missed a couple of days of work and bosses went to his house to check on him.
Hello, Newman.
And he hadn't cashed the $900 check? Beats the married mail carrier couple they just caught in my neck of the woods who had stolen residents' credit cards and those stupid check they send you and spent like $35k.
One of my favorite Slateexplainers. From time immemorial, where there is mail, there is hoarding of mail.
