OMG Dutch that Is terrible. :-(

I am guessing that where Hayley put 'us this" (not 'use' Dutch) ...she meant to put '.....tell us this'? apologies to Hayley if she didn't :-D

I have had a few cases where a hand made card with 'standout' bits ( can't think of a proper term lol) have been opened, also ordinary ones in the past that had been sent with money in which disappeared, a relative who used to send £5 notes to young relatives found they all went missing one Christmas, all posted at her local office.

NEVER SEND MONEY THROUGH THE POST


That is the warning given here.


It's elementary ..................

............ send money, especially coins, through the post and you are tempting fate every single time.

Hayley
what do you mean i was going to use this ,alady who lives in London sent 2 pound coin well concealed to my friend in Liverpool it never got there ,its the English blame the Dutch and they blame the english wh knows it could be either side

OMG Dutch I had a gut feeling you was going to us this...terrible :-(

A cousin in England often sends me info about places of mutual interest that she has visited, usually in A4 sized envelopes.
Over the past year or so, they have invariably been opened (slit, not torn).
I´ve been blaming the Spanish postal workers, but from what Dutch says, the problem looks to originate in England.

You right as i have had post resealed but this is the 4th one i have had opened in the last few months in one envolpe the left the card in and took the money out,our post man was realy upset as he thought i thought it was him not at all he is from our villiage and retired,he told my hubby as i cant speak dutch were as my OH is dutch

At first I wondered if the decoration showed up in the screening as 'unexplained'., but you've said it was empty.

Even if this was the case, you'd have thought the re-sealing would have some sort of offical customs/security/post office labelling on it.

Trouble is, the opening could have happened anywhere between the post box near Gatwick and your home. :-(

That's terrible Dutch but at least you have now got the answer you were looking for. Some people will stop at nothing.

Well ladys i have found out who sent me the envolpe it was friend who lives near Gatwick,the envolpe was slit open and the contents taken out but it looked like they had use letter open,they must have thought there was money in it but it was home made card,my friend even had it weighed so right postage was on it ,so my friend is going to send enough one and if they open that they well find anote in saying got you nothing in
Dutch

Sorry ladys im still waiting but will let you all know as soon as i do but its not looking good at the moment,

She hasnt heard as far as i know, and im sure Joyce will explain, but i will say nobody sending a white envelope has done anything at all quite the contrary.

Iwill give Joyce a call in a bit to see if she has heard anymore.

Put us out of our misery Joyce. Did you find out who it was?

im intrigued also,pray tell us more. :-D

*Intrigued*............ ;-)
