CNN reports that a "Postal authorities say a Michigan postal worker has admitted to stealing some $20,000 worth of first-class stamps since September and trying to sell them to online auction-site customers to help pay his mortgage. An arrest warrant has been issued for John Auito, 42, of Macomb, Michigan. Auito, a postal employee since 2003, resigned after investigators confronted him on April 30."
I wonder if he stole the 'forever' stamps as they would have a higher resale value. Now, that he in jail there will almost surely be a foreclosure.
