READ IF YOU USE USPS in SHAPLEIGH I have filed a criminal police report regarding a suspected theft of a package committed by either the older man who generally works the front desk, or any other worker specific to the Shapleigh, Maine, USPS location. The value of the package's contents are $1,700.00. On Friday, 10/23/2020, at 2:35pm, I went inside the Shapleigh USPS location and handed 2 packages directly to an older man with medium length grey hair at the front desk. Video footage from inside the USPS Shapleigh location will confirm this if it's available, and I am in the process of attempting to subpoena the video footage to corroborate my account of the situation. One of these packages was scanned in nearly immediately, showing a "scanned in" time and date of 2:39pm, 10/23/2020. The other package, i.e. the "stolen/missing package", has still not been scanned in as of today, 10/29/2020. Upon calling the Shapleigh USPS location on 10/26/2020, I advised the man who answered the phone that I had handed this package over in person to the USPS worker whilst inside the USPS location, under video surveillance, so I knew they had it in their possession. The man on the phone insisted they had never received the package, and had absolutely no information on where it was - he tried to tell me that I hadn't brought it to USPS to be delivered yet, which I refuted, but was met with the same response. Next, I walked into the office on 10/29/2020 and asked the man at the front desk to look for the package again, because I knew it was in their possession. The man rudely and aggressively told me that I never brought it in, AGAIN, despite me insisting that I knew they had it in their possession. He then REFUSED to look further, and stood there looking at me aggressively and silently until I was forced to leave out of fear. I had not raised my voice this entire time and he just had a smug look on his face as he stood there and told me that he would refuse to look for the package again. I am actively working with local police, federal police, the United States Postal Inspection Service, the United States Postal Inspection General, and my attorney to get to the bottom of this situation. IF YOU VALUE YOUR PACKAGES, AVOID THE SHAPLEIGH, MAINE USPS LOCATION UNTIL FEDERAL POLICE CAN ASCERTAIN WHAT HAS HAPPENED. Use FedEx or UPS - they actually care about a lost package because they are a legitimate business with consequences for bad/thieving employees, unlike the USPS which has a tendency to hire and retain employees who couldn't care less what happens to your belongings and livelihood. If anyone has ANY information on stolen goods or packages in Shapleigh, Maine, or York County, please contact the United States Postal Inspection General or local police to improve our chances of righting what's wrong. At this point, I am counting on somebody to see something and say something.
