bigway 4 #1 November 27, 2004 i have just replied for a replacment british passport in the mail, i leave in one week to go around scandenavia. i get my passport put through my door today in a brown royal mail1 envelope, the envelope is open and no passport just the cover letter. The envelope looks like it had been opened and then resealed with selotape, and also reopened by the selotape again, the envelope was fully open before put through my door. Ok, it can only be someone from the postal service who has stolen my passport but the question i have to ask is, how could someone be so dumb? i mean if you are a postal worker and you steal a passport out of the envelope why on earth would you selotape the envelope up and then post it without the passport, oh and then reopen the sellotape??? i can not get my head around this, the only thing i am aware of is that i will not be leaving this country before xmas. i phoned the post office up but as it is saturday the manager is not in until monday so i asked if i should call the police, the lady said no, you need to speak to the manager first, well it is up to you if you want to go to the police first. I tell you something, i am sick of customer service in this country and am going to kick up the biggest shit storm i can with this post office. I just could really do with some advice on how i should handle this. .Karnage Krew Gear Store . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bigway 4 #3 November 27, 2004 that is the problem though i came into this bloddy country on a british passport therefore do not have a stamp in my new zealand passport. So i can not leave the country on my new zealand passport because i can not prove i was meant to be in the damn country to start with. All i want to do is leave this country. .Karnage Krew Gear Store . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

christelsabine 1 #16 November 27, 2004 Go to the police at first, they might not be in weekend. You cannot know who's messing around with your passport and for what it will be used Don't waste time. Just my idea as there are too many freaks around There is another chance that your passport simply got lost. It happens that personal docs like that will be found and handed over to a police station.

bigway 4 #18 November 27, 2004 yeah, it was not lost though, this envelope had been opened at least twice. the first time when they opened the seal, the second time when they ripped the srllotape off the manila envelope and left the envelope all over the sellotape.

Zeemax 0 #22 November 28, 2004 Dude, call the police NOW. Then speak to the passport office. If you come up to london and hang around for a bit (theres usually a q) you can get a new passport THE SAME DAY. Not sure how it'll work in your case though, seeing as you have one, but its gone walkies. Worth a try though. Either way, call the your local police station now. Also, you have no proof it was the post man, maybe it was taken at the sorting office, maybe it got taken at some other point?Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BASE813 0 #23 November 28, 2004 there have been several TV programmes recently about the amount of credit cards / bank details / passports etc that are being ripped off through the postal service - its quite a big business by all accounts. Good luck, and lets hope no one is using it to take over your identity! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
