Got a different type of exciting government letter - this one was from the US Postal Inspection Service. Our mail had been stolen sometime in mid-July. The City of Seattle had apparently caught the person and USPIS is filing criminal charges. We were also given photocopies of our envelopes, the postmarks dated 7/10 - 7/12, along with the three forms filing criminal charges. I filled out the forms enclosed and sealed 'em. Then I emailed the bank and all my transfer agents.

and then I remembered something. I lost that DRP form July 15. Dang. There was no activity - the check number didn't show in my bank, but no deposits to the DRP either.

Now there is activity. Sigh.

Emailed the postal inspector on the case telling him (her?) about my loss on July 15. That would cap it all if that DRP form was found with the thief.

And its official: trust no one. Red Alert 24/7.
