Andrei Posted August 15, 2016 Share #1 Posted August 15, 2016 My friend in NYC went to the Post Office building on Varick Street to pick up his mail and some mail for me. There was a USPS box with a VN plaque, a green beret and a notebook for me. He opened the box to take the plaque out and thought that the padded envelopes with the beret and the notebook were there for protection purpose and he trashed them in the street dustbin in front of the Post Office building... I know there is little chance to recover these items but if by any chance you see them on eBay or for sell in a NYC shop please let me know.

Andrei Posted August 15, 2016 Author Share #3 Posted August 15, 2016 Ugh That sucks !!! hope you get them back !!! That sucks big time... Chances are very thin. My only hope is that a homeless person found them and sell them on the streets to someone who might put them on eBay or Craigslist... Thanks Scott!

TLeo Posted August 15, 2016 Share #4 Posted August 15, 2016 That really is some bad luck, but, why was he opening YOUR package to begin with? He should reimburse you for the loss due to his actions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrei Posted August 15, 2016 Author Share #6 Posted August 15, 2016 That really is some bad luck, but, why was he opening YOUR package to begin with? He should reimburse you for the loss due to his actions. I am located in Paris, France. My friend goes to NYC every two months for business purpose. So he picks up my stuff at the POBox of his brother who lives in NYC for 17 years. He's my friend for 30 years. He is the first to be sorry. I will get my money back but the lost items were part of a larger grouping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linedoggie Posted September 30, 2016 Share #10 Posted September 30, 2016 Sorry but 99.9% Chance the items are now in the Staten Island landfill as SDNY is pretty good about picking up trash daily on street bins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOLO Posted October 1, 2016 Share #13 Posted October 1, 2016 maybe your friend took the items for his own collection? Ive known people to do things like this. I never believe the lost in the mail story, lost = stolen if he received the package he has your items, the envelope would have enough weight that it would be unlikely to throw it away without checking it first.

Andrei Posted October 2, 2016 Author Share #14 Posted October 2, 2016 I believe him, he's like a brother and he is the first to be sorry. He is not a collector at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
