Dianne,
They have a place in Huntsville Ala where my sister-in-law lives for the lost luggage and she has gone over there to purchase some items. Good buys she said .

Chatty , We had a mailman who did same thing here years ago and at times I was not getting all my mail . He just would not deliver on a Saturday to us. When they investigated here they found a lot of mail he had opened and dumped in the woods . They he was stealing a lot of stuff off the trucks and mail. I hope he does go down good . I heard this mailman here got big time in jail.

Its a federal offense to mess with anyones mail. This guy could get 20 years from the amount they found both opened (stealing) and unopened just stashed and not delivered.

When I lived in TN, our newcomer's group visited the unclaimed baggage place in Alabama. It was quite the place. It was shortly after 9/11 and there were bins on top of bins of nail clippers and nail files. I wondered who the heck would buy someone else's nail clippers???? But, you'd be amazed at what gets left behind. Tons of paperback books - most like new. Lots of clothes and suprizingly, lots of small electrics. A lot of 'formal' wear, also.

It's one of those places that you have to visit on a frequent basis. I imagine 'the good stuff' doesn't last long. I did buy a few books - it took hours to go through the whole place.

I live right outside of Huntsville and I don't know about this place. What's the name of it? I've been here over 30 years.

The one in Scottsboro, AL is called UNCLAIMED BAGGAGE and it USE to be a good place to shop. Now its junk and the people who own it buy from everybody, not just unclaimed baggage. They buy leftovers from places like Penny's, Speigel's, etc...You are so right though about the books. You can get some great buys on them. I live about an hour from there.

Another boomer meeting?

The only thing that happened to us concerning mail was when soemone in the post office stole our new credit card.

I received a payment with over a thousnad dollars that I hadn't charged.

When I called the bank, they asked if I'd received my new credit card. I hadn't. They shared that soemone in the Baltimore postal service had been stealing them before they got delivered.

I didn't pay a cent. That's why the interst rates are so high.
