This is a story from last week that I've been meaning to put up...if any members from that area had items go missing you might be getting a long, overdue surprise!
Story is from ABC 5/4/11

An Australia Post worker in a small Victorian town has been sacked after police charged him with stealing mail.

More than $60,000 worth of property was seized - equating to four trailer loads of items - including WWI and WWII medals, women's lingerie, televisions, jewellery and piles of registered mail.

Peter Martin Jackson, 53, has been charged with obtaining property by deception.

He is charged only in relation to cashing in three Bunnings vouchers stolen from the mail after he was caught on CCTV cameras.

Property and mail has been going missing from the post in the Castlemaine area for the past six years.

Police are now trying to reunite more than 1,000 items with their owners.

Australia Post says it understands the distress caused by the thefts, but says it has rigorous detection measures in place and it is an isolated case.

yes, i am sure the recipients of lingerie would want them back now complete with skidmarks.
 
Im not surprised Aus post took so long to catch on. The registered mail goes in with the regular mail so hardly surprising
 
I heard the Police put their elite S.S.U on the case (Snail Sniffer Unit) to follow him about 2 years ago but the suspect became suspicious when the snail got too close to him
