Germany: Neither Snow, Nor Rain, Nor Night School?
By REUTERS
A Scottish letter carrier working in Frankfurt hoarded at least 20,000
letters at home because he felt his work was too taxing, the police
said Tuesday. The postal worker was caught when a neighbor saw him
tipping a bag of mail into a garbage bin and alerted the police. "It's
worth mentioning the 23-year-old didn't deliver mail addressed to
himself either," the police said in a statement. Investigators found
garbage bags and boxes full of letters and other mail stashed around
the man's apartment and basement. He told the police that he had
gotten behind with deliveries because of night school studies and felt
too overtaxed to catch up.
