After reading about another case of a postal worker dumping his days work in a ditch I began to wonder if these carriers were influenced by the Seinfeld character Newman who hid the mail he was supposed to deliver in the basement. One would think that would be a fairly easy fact to locate,however it took several hours of asking the question different way to finally get an answer. The answer is no! For some reason mail carriers become easily overwhelmed with their work and have been dumping,hiding or burning the mail since as early as 1874. The reason this information was so hard won is that it happens so frequently (around 500 cases per year) that even the internet has trouble finding the information.
