To the mail thief at my apartment building:
You may think you’re clever, copying the key to the parcel box so that you can get to everyone’s Christmas presents before they do, but your big mistake was leaving half of the bag of stuff my mother sent to my girlfriend outside of your apartment with the trash. Sure, you managed to pawn my Doctor Who DVD before I caught on, but by the time you read this, I’ll have caught you in the act, and I’ll make sure I haven’t had a cigarette, so I’ll be extra, extra angry.

Man, stealing mail is a big deal. Hope this guy gets what he deserves (and hasn’t gotten a hold of anyone’s credit cards!)
holla’s got it… fucking with the mail is a federal offense with severe penalties. Do the world a favour and teach your neighbour a lesson in civility and law all at the same time.
you need to report this to canada post.
and get your super to change the lock.
what a jerk. (the theif guy, not you)
I’d actually call the cops over that one too, not just Canada Post. Take a picture of your opened stuff that you found. They may suggest other things to catch the guy…definitely worth it. Wow.
what a fucking asshole
dr who… saved you a bit of pain there IMO.
hey why don’t you mail some anthrax in an envelope labeled cheques in a box and put that box inside another box and mail it to yourself….
when it arrives, odds are he’ll open it (rather than smashing it with a hammer)
I knew anthrax was created for some purpose…
That’s really disgusting. I hate it when people steal, especially from people who cannot afford to be stolen from. Call the cops and the post office immediately!
Hope you get to nail the motherfucker.
Keep the Coast readers posted.
Before you call the cops, get video of it actually happening so he can’t wriggle out of any charges.
Pavillion, I think a thief considers that anyone with something they don’t have can afford to be stolen from. There are no Robin Hoods in real life…all thieves are the same.
I disagree, Miles. I believe in some cases, certain “people” deserve to be stolen from. Like large corporations who pay factory workers pennies a day…I say if those workers have a chance to steal some bread to feed their families…..go for it! I wouldn’t hold it against them, I would say it’s the big corp.’s fault for not paying their employees proper wages to begin with, especially when they can afford to!
With that said, mail theft is terrible! I would be rippin mad if I put time and energy into sending a loved one something in the mail only to have it stolen upon arrival! OP, you should find out if the person sending the mail has insurance on the package.
Just report him. Mail theft is a crime. Lock this loser away. Or break his legs. Whatever suits you. I like the latter.
HOLY SHIT what a fucking Douche-Grinch!
This is serious shit with serious consequences. If I were you I’d report him to the landlord, Canada Post, and the police. Especially the landlord, odds are you’re not the only one he’s stealing from.
I know what it’s like to have someone rifle through and steal shit from your mail, and it makes my blood boil. You better catch this guy, god dammit I want to help you catch him!
Keep us posted! I want to see this motherfucker charged!
Report it to the landlord/super? It’s probably the landlord/super! Crafty son-of-bitches, and usually more crooked than a crack addict. Report it to Canada Post, and let the shit fly.
I used to work in magazine subscriptions and this happens more than you think.
One customer in rural Texas explained to me that his mailman actually TOLD him that he regularly stole and destroyed his magazines each month because they were about a religion that wasn’t Christian.
He even went as far as to try to press charges, but was told that there was nothing that could be done, because there was no proof.
Eventually, we had to start sending him his “illicit” (not) magazines in plain brown envelopes so that the mailman wouldn’t know what they were.
So now you know that if you live in certain parts of the US, you don’t necessarily have the right to read the copies of “Hinduism Today” that you may have ordered from those little subscription cards.
haha I see like a typical albertain . Kay is now condoning violence and or being an asshole to someone – hmmmmmm – after all that bitching about us being violent and here come KAY with her violence ( teach him some civility and law at the same time ) to pharaphrase KAY . You fuckin asshole – now you can’t complain about us being that way – thats the most contradicting statement yet from you – now bow down and admit your an idiot – only because you got caught .
ps , OP take a nice huge dump and collect dog shit – leave it in a box marked fragile and let him have it – I’m sure the cops will be able to catch the smell coming from his apartment . What a douchewad .
when you catch said person,haul them into your apt.,that way you can say they broke in,before you bashed their fucking skull in.have a nice hunt,i’m rooting for you.
OP you pussy. If you were as hardcore as you write you’d had knocked on buddy’s door and whooped dat ass. Or at least made an attempt to confront the so-called thief.
Hopefully the “thief” steals a computer and some internet signal so he can read your bitch and go steal your milk and cookies on Christmas Eve.
oh yea just a KAY post bitching about our violence and our violent ways
“that’s just great… Nova Scotian problem solving (a.k.a. common assault) doled out in Calgary now. Is nowhere safe from you backward, violent motherfuckers?}
and she on this bitch suggests some of the same for the Op to do to the mail theif and KAy don’t tell me that a lesson on civility is sitting down with the thief over tea and discussing the wrongs of theft.
You make me puke
shit into a box, wrap it, and hope he steals it!!
You could set up a hidden camera near the mail area and get some footage of the ‘thief’ stealing from everyone. Then, taking Ninja Boot’s idea somewhat, print a photo of ‘thief’ from the video, put it in a frame, gift-wrap it, put your own name on it and wait for it to be stolen by ‘thief’. Could lead to an amusing scenario where ‘thief’ knows he’s caught and that others are onto him.
how about just hanging it in the lobby. that would work better, then everyone would know too.make about 20 copies, and just keep taping them up. after the first one is taken down by them.
This reminds me of a Dog the Bounty Hunter episode from a while ago…sigh.
