COMPROMISED or robbed?

[inreplyavalon]

I was asked by an associate to see what ya'll think about this.

He mailed an overnight parcel from one state to another. Using fictitious names but real address'.

The package arrived early in the day on the proper next day.

In the sent package was multiple vac sealed packages of multiple elbows. When opened by the receiver only one package was in the box.

The package was immediately placed back on the step after being resealed.

I am calling foul play. A private shipper was used and it would seem that a worker stole most of it.
Why not the whole thing? If it were the police would they have gone in after the package was initially picked up? Or would they have taken most of it, and started an investigation.
The package is still on the step, being ignored, 30 hours later.

What do you think happened?

Thanks.

wait? this guy shipped it to himself? as in he personally packed and unpacked the box no one else? if that not the case then who ever packaged it is f'ing ya. doesn't sound like employee theft (why take out most but not all?) but no entirely impossible.

 

[stinkyattic]

Um- did you look at the declared ship weight on it- the weight they based shipping charges on? It should match the actual weight of the parcel. lol. I bet you own a scale...

REason #11749 why I let everyone else play Pot Santa Claus... it sounds like SUCH a fun and rewarding business!

 

[inreplyavalon]

The weight did not match the weight on the package. The ship weight was more than what the package ended up weighing. Or so the recipient thinks.

The package was shipped by my guy to someone else. Someone who is actually quite close to the sender, so unlikely but not entirely exempt from screwing over the sender.

Stinky no doubt you have thought this through more than the rest of us. It is a very hard lesson to learn. Nearly a seasons worth of work, in the hands of either leo or some greedy thieving person. No ones fault except those involved, of course, but a hard one to learn nonetheless.

Do you think it could have been leo?

 

[Lagertester]

No way Leo, They would have kept all of it. Personally, After being screwed by friends and foes alike I would be willing to bet the package was NEVER opened til the receiver got it. My money is on the receiver scamming your friend.

 

[stinkyattic]

Had it been Leo, they would have been waiting in the bushes to shoot your dog, just like that mayor down South...
Okay, I'm being facetious and am NOT 100% certain that it WASN'T leo, but the circumstances described don't sound like their style at all. A FOAF recently had 2 black 'Burbans full of postal inspectors show up at his house -packing heat- to hand-deliver a parcel containing some seeds and TWO JOINTS of the finished product in hopes that he would accept the parcel and then allow himself to be arrested.
This sounds like a straight up scam to me.

If the package was opened and then retaped shut the sender should be able to tell. Look for multiple layers of tape or torn card board etc. Stinky weed can make it through multiple layers especially when it is lb size. If the sender did not pull a scam your buddy is one lucky SOB because their was some sloppy shipping going on for a handler to smell and steal.

 

[inreplyavalon]

hamstring...my buddy was the sender and he vac sealed each one more than a few times and washed his hands in between. It was a reused box. I have heard delivery people will drive around with a razor and some tape and look at lots of contents.

navigator..."I would make sure the package was re taped USE GLOVES! so there are no finger prints. Call the ship company and have them pick up the parcel. Get ahold of the sender and notify them what happened.".....what do you mean by this. You think he should call the ship company to pick up the package? Then they would definitely open it up, probably at headquarters and involve leo?

Stinky...all parties would rather lose any amount of herb over their mutts. hell ya.

lagertester... that would really suck as it is someone he trusted and had worked with previously. I guess no way of discovering anything unless LEO bang down some doors and shoot some pooches in the process.

 

[whodi]

I believe leo dresses up as the delivery guy and asks you to sign for the package in most cases.

One reason that I can think of not to take it all is that the package wouldn't feel empty to anyone else handling it.

 

[srk]

Well sounds like your friend used the wrong carrier. Fed ex packages leaving california to pot hungry places always get jacked this time of year same with UPS. USPS needs warrants to open up shit, they're the way to go I hear.

I've never and never will ship anything illegal to anywhere!!! But I know someone that does this regularly thats where my knowledge comes from.

Mods are gonna bin this.

 

[Navigator330]

What i meant was to make sure that your buddy didnt leave any evidence like prints on the tape to involve him.

However instead of leaving it outside by the door, if he is not returning to sender, just take it back and and keep whats left. Doubt the LEO are involved. I guess i was real stoned before and thinking that he should just return it, but it was from a friend. So what would they do with it lol

 

[Fuzz420]

Next Time use tamper proof tape,so if it were to happen again you would know without a doubt if the problem came from the shipping co or the receiving end

 

[JJScorpio]

Get that package off the steps and hidden away. Why would your "friend" leave a felony possession charge laying on the front steps? That's not real bright. If the cops didn't deliver the package and make a bust, if the weeds gone they have no evidence.

 

[inreplyavalon]

fuzz...the only one who would know if the tamper proof seal was busted is the receiver, and if they were dishonest it would not make a difference, but i hear what your saying and think that is a good idea.

Scorpio the thinking in leaving the package on the steps is in thinking leo is involved. He received a package that was not his and put it outside in case the ups guy realized he dropped it off at the wrong place. But that does not make too much sense because it is his address on the package. I think he is avoiding picking up the package and having the cops rush in.

 

[ninfan77]

lol the receiver is pulling one over on you both...or you got robbed in transit.

LEO's involvement would be very apparent by now...

 

[ChaosCatalunya]

What i meant was to make sure that your buddy didnt leave any evidence like prints on the tape to involve him.

... not to mention DNA....?

Not the seed company, your unique genetic code ... Bleach kills it, wash all packages and materials down with this or you might as well use your real name and details.

I would never do this... but if I did... I would stick your "elbows" in a hollowed out childrens toy or some other low value rubbish to disguise it in case someone does take a look .... worht the effort and expense, especially bearing in mind our US based friends are looking at long sentences for this kind of tomfoolery.

 

[ChronicPow]

Just some insight.... My buddy had a package of about a 1/4 p comin from Cali. The package arrived, but with no contents. Few weeks later LEO with fully armed SWAT members raided the place. O and I reside in the mid-atlantic region where the dogs where slain. Take it as you will.

 

[inreplyavalon]

ninfan that is what we would hope at this point.

chaos thanks for the DNA tip. i'll pass that along. Seems like a reasonable precaution to take.



CHRONICPOW...that is a freaky story. I have never heard of anything of the sort. Was the person who was raided dealing for a while? Were there any other reasons that may have led to the swat assault, other than a measly 1/4p?
