Given where morale is headed in the USPS system, I can only hope that the postal police will keep that kind of behavior in check in the US.
I did mail an Xbox 360 to someone and have it arrive looking like it fell out of an airplane...during a hurricane. Not sure what the postman was thinking when he dropped it off. Probably "not my problem". The little punk that received it tried to blame me for the damage too, filed every complaint form he could find with Paypal and Ebay. I don't usually waterproof my shipments.
