Didn't take long for RACE to get brought into this. Just kidding. Seriously, this guy is one pathetic loser.

Some friend.

Can Simon gift cards be used for bail ??

He shouldn't have stolen those cards, that was wrong. I think it was also wrong that some "acquaintance" felt it their duty to snoop through someones personal affects. Sounds like someone was a little jealous.....

I am glad they caught him this way. My daughter received a birthday card with the "contents" missing and the post office did nothing about it when reported. I was hoping they would investigate the person on the route, but no such luck.

Where was this man's route? It would be nice to know so others on the route might be able to double check if they have anything missing.

Rodney's not the only crook. Just before Christmas 2006 --$80 was conveniently missing in a cash gift sent to me (then in Southport mailed from LA).

My Sports Illustrated Swim Suit Issue never showed up last year, the post office said, did you call the publisher? Funny I received every other issue before and after that issue.

If you're going to read it, at least send it out after you're done LOSER!

So, how did he know there were gift card in the envelopes?

I used to hold mail carriers on about the same level as police officers.....no longer

"According to a police report, an acquaintance of Branine and his wife grew suspicious after the couple came home from a shopping trip at a Kohl's department store on Nov. 13. The acquaintance found store receipts, and police later determined that purchases were made using gift cards intended for two people on Branine's mail delivery route."

This sounds a little shaky. A good lawyer will get the evidence tossed.

Why? The mail carriers turn in their own? Or did you realize that the mail carriers do not all congregate in Broadripple and downtown to hit on the girls walking past?

Just goes to show ya, you can find a rotten apple in any barrel.
People from all walks of life and or jobs can be tempted and take bites from forbiden fruit.
Even Judges and attorneys are non exempt.

whats this world coming to? This man cave up his career for a few little dollars. Money is the root of all evil. I just don't understand it. Be happy with what you've got and strive to get more the leagal way. I guess thats just wishful thinking.

"According to a police report, Branine admitted to police that he took the cards after realizing that the intended recipients no longer lived at the addresses on his route. Information on the value of the gift cards was not immediately available."

Hey Smartguy, is the Good Lawyer also going to get the guy's confession tossed?

Remind me to never ask you for legal or any other advice...

Money is not the root of all evil. The love of money is the root of all evil.

Where or what subdivision does his mail route include?
