WHICH PART OF 'RETURN TO SENDER' DIDN'T YOU UNDERSTAND EXACTLY?

LegalView's DumbJustice - Dumb Criminal

Matthew Alexander Furness worked as a postman for Britain's Royal Mail before he was found guilty of stealing their postal packages.

When his bosses found an opened package in the postman's work van they became suspicious and set a trap. They planted a wrongly addressed DVD in his bag, which he should have dealt with as a 'mis sort' and sent to another office to deal with. The DVD never reappeared. Then, two months later, they planted wrongly addressed ladies lingerie and waited to see what would happen. A CCTV recording showed Furness turning items over to hide the address before keeping them for himself.

Okay, so the guy nicked a DVD, a bra, and some panties. So what?

Well, when he denied the charges, he was searched for evidence, and found to be wearing the panties - a racy little thong by all accounts.

He is, apparently, receiving counseling for matters in his past.
