Going postal — big time

We are not surprised when we learn from time to time that postal carriers have been stealing mail instead of delivering it.

We have come to expect such behavior because A) some people are crooked and because, well, B) the Postal Service is the Postal Service.

But what can we make of Myles Weathers, a former carrier in Massachusetts? He pleaded guilty this week to stealing more than … 30,000 DVDs he was supposed to deliver!

This has to be some kind of world record. Weathers wasn’t just a thief, he was a conglomerate.

And why did it take Netflix, the company being ripped off, so long to figure out it had a problem? As many as 100 DVDs a week were disappearing into the void.

Jeez, how many times can you watch “Iron Man” or “WALL-E”?
