Yup, I wondered how many of the fly by night thieves were thinking just a
bunch of lousy toy parts
, never realizing that some of them are approaching
the value of scrap precious metals.

.94 oz of parts lost worth $54.11. Silver is $22.99 per oz. This is the 6th
lost package since the pandemic began for us. In 20 plus years of selling online
through many channels we've had well over 20000 packages shipped, and that
lost package total in less than 2 years is triple that of the previous 18.

Wow, I had no idea. Since the porch pirates have been "handled" they've
found another way to get at it. The lengths people will go to. And for what?
Resell on ebay? Pawn shop? Underground reseller? It's maddening!

If it’s happening in the U.S. then it’s probably happening elsewhere.
