I’ll tell you what these #PostOffice ads have proper made me forget about the #PostOfficeScandal

My tracked mail normally goes from the Kansas City, KS, distribution center to a specific #postoffice here in town, and then to my area of town's post office, which gets it out to me. So, when it leaves KCK, I can usually count on its being delivered the next day.

Usually.

I'm waiting on something that was in KCK EIGHT <PROFANITY> DAYS AGO. The last update was four days ago: "MOVING THROUGH NETWORK / In Transit to Next Facility, Arriving Late."

A new episode of our patron-exclusive series is available! Despite being the longest-serving Postmaster General and a key part of the Jeffersonian political schema, Gideon Granger has been largely ignored until now.

Shop worker could have gambled away more than £100,000 in takings

44-year-old Rebecca Hanford, from Skewen, had been working as a cashier at Arbourne’s Premier brand store and Post Office, on New Road in Skewen, since 2010.

Swansea Crown Court heard that as part of that job Hanford would collect cash from the shop tills, log it, and put it in “pods” in the safe.

In May 2021, the shop management found discrepancies with the figures of money leaving the tills to go into the shop’s safe, and with the money that was in the safe itself.

Further checks showed the discrepancies happening at times when Hanford was working at the store.

The court heard that the owners of the store counted the cash in the safe from the previous day’s takings prior to the start of one of Hanford’s shifts and put it back in place. At the end of the day they counted the same cash and found £300 was missing.

Hanford was challenged about the missing money and after first denying any responsibility, then produced the cash from her purse.

Hanford gave a ‘no comment’ interview to Police, with further investigations showing she had stolen a total of £40,431 between October 2020 and July 2021.

Up to September 2020, the business noted a shortfall of approximately £55,000 in their accounts. The business owners told the court that they estimated that the amount of money taken could total up to £100,000, however earlier documents were no longer available to be checked.

After pleading guilty to the theft charges, Hanford claimed that the money had been spent on household bills, although admitted spending £100 a week on lottery tickets and scratch cards.

Judge Geraint Walters sentenced Hanford to 12 months in prison saying he could not begin to understand what the defendant had been spending the stolen money on and had squandered her employers’ money.

Detective Sergeant Simon Davies from South Wales Police said: “Rebecca Hanford’s actions were not only criminal and selfish; they also had a detrimental impact on her colleagues, who were placed under suspicion when the shortfall was discovered.

“She knew what she was doing was wrong, yet she continued. Even worse, she appears to have squandered a significant amount of the money that she stole through gambling. Her claims that she was spending the money on household bills simply did not add up.

“She is now going to prison as a result of her actions, which should be seen as a clear warning to anyone else thinking of participating in this criminal behaviour.”

Does this mean that an average person is subject to inspection if they are on post office property? (I presume this is not a new law?)

39 CFR part 232.1 (b) (2)

You can find the law here: https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/39/232.1

(b) Inspection, recording presence.

(2) Vehicles and their contents brought into, while on, or being removed from restricted nonpublic areas are subject to inspection. ... etc ....

I keep on thinking about the #Postoffice #Horizon scandal (for those of you not based in UK: About 1,000 post office operators were wrongfully prosecuted and convicted by the Post Office between 1999 and 2015, because of faulty Horizon accounting software that suggested they had committed fraud).

It is absolutely terrible how all this unfolded (so much racism in it, too, no doubt) and the devastating impact this had on so many families.
