Yup, definitely contact the Postal Inspector.
I knew a guy who was a carrier for years start stealing cards in the mail. They got him with a sting and fired him. It's a long story, but suffice to say they somehow knew he would steal a package that appeared to be from Topps. Even had the right return addy for an NPN back in the day.
It was really an electronic card that had a mousetrap like device that popped when he opened it. They picked him up about five minutes later.
Almost twenty years between the USN and the USPS, down the drain.
It's not hard to think a postal employee is stealing things small enough to remove without attracting too much attention, yet obviously contains something flippable.
Like puffy a from Probstien, or something like that, that would fit easily into a purse. Post offices don't have the security of the US Mint.
He or she probably steals all kinds of things.
It's unlikely you have someone outside the USPS system who is somehow tracking your incoming packages, and know which ones to steal. Gotta be someone on the inside.
I have another friend who used to BE a postmaster in her small town. She was really upset when our old friend got busted. And she had a LOT of stories about postal employee theft of mail.
It's nothing new, but you must let the right people know.
