Beware: Nintendo Wii stolen while with United States Postal Service - Image 1Here’s something you certainly don’t want to happen to you, especially during this time of the year. Kathy Green, a woman from Columbus, Georgia, had her Nintendo Wii console stolen while it was under the care of the United States Postal Service (USPS).

According to the report, Green was able to find the console on eBay. When the packaged arrived, however, she noticed that the box was torn open and that the Wii is already missing.

“It looks like someone ripped it backwards,” commented the customer. Post office officials, on the other hand, said that while they were sure that the package’s weight was heavier at some point, they cannot ascertain when and where the problem happened. USPS Customer Service Manager Michael Matthews shared:

ItÂ’s hard to tell where in the system it got opened up or where it actually happened. Package your articles correctly, make sure theyÂ’re secure, be sure that you have an address on the inside of the package as well as the outside of the package.

Since Green had the package insured, she will be sure to receive a reimbursement for her money. Bot the problem is that local post offices only automatically refunds damaged and stolen goods if the price is under US$ 50. Anything more than that and a process with a corporate office must be initiated which will take about one whole month.
