  1. I don't get the fact that they could steal for 2 years without anyone noticing it. I think that the post must control the proces of the mail more, because this is a big violation of the privacy. I hope that in the future this things will not happen again. I don't think that the post can ask for damages, because they had to check the employees more and they didn't got any loss, only a bad name.
