I once was on on contract to deliver the mail and lost keys to trunk...found 'em a week or two later...some late ccbill cheques for some peeps, sorry.
Then there was the big gust of wind that sent letters everywhere (not me), and sometimes (amazingly) letters could get wrapped around the inside back of the mail sorting case. I switched routes a couple of times and found some of those ancient letters jammed in like that, though ccbill is a bit stiff for that to happen.
Lots of missorts too if you happen to live in one of those cutesie hoods where street names are themed and addresses are the same. At 8 seconds or less per piece of mail to sort, 1447 Silversmith looks much like 1474 Silversmock, especially if they line up one on top of each other in mail case.
Then there is the possibility that some nut job is looking for passports and whacked an unsuspecting postie over the head and fucked off with the mail. Not me, but some nice lady I worked with got it good.
Or, you could have Cindy Henry delivering your mail. Ottawa was on the phone twice a week wondering where she put her mail. lol
After 2.5 years of doing that I spent 4.5 years in the woods The King style...needed it.
That said, mine usually get here between Tuesday and Thursday.
