Ex-mail handler admits theft of video games in envelopes

A former Postal Service mail handler admitted in federal district court yesterday that he stole 2,200 video games contained in envelopes addressed to Philadelphia-area residents.
Reginald Johnson, 34, of Germantown, faces from 12 to 18 months in prison under preliminary advisory sentencing guidelines. U.S. District Judge Berle M. Schiller set sentencing for Jan. 13.
Authorities said Johnson was a mail-processing clerk who unloaded mail from tractor-trailers docked at the processing and distribution center in Philadelphia.
The feds said Johnson stole the video games, valued at $86,000, between April and September 2008.
The games were sent by GameFly, a company that rents online video games to subscribers through the mail for $15.95 or $22.95 a month.
The Postal Service's Office of Inspector General began receiving reports in late 2007 of missing GameFly mailings in Philadelphia, the government's plea memo said.
On Sept. 5, 2008, the inspector general conducted a surveillance operation of the center using test mailings.
Based on the surveillance, officials determined that Johnson was the culprit, the plea memo said.
Federal agents tried to arrest Johnson later that day as he entered his SUV in the center's parking lot, but Johnson sped off and later crashed his vehicle, the plea memo said.
Authorities said Johnson abandoned his car and fled into a neighboring yard with a duffel bag, which later was recovered.
The agents found 81 GameFly mailings inside the duffel bag. When they searched Johnson's SUV, they found a dark backpack containing 79 GameFly mailings.
Also in the SUV were five Nintendo Wii Sports, three Wii Fits, a Playstation console, game controllers and receipts from a business called GameStop.
GameStop customers can trade in used game DVDs to GameStop for store credit, which then can be used to buy other gaming equipment, such as Nintendo Wii consoles, the plea memo said.
Johnson told the court that he now works for Hatfield Quality Meats in Lansdale.
I know this is late... I've had games delayed a few days, even when shipped from the Austin center but they've always arrived. Did yours end up coming?
Nope never got it, it shows up in my history as lost. They re sent the game the next week and I got it the next day and that same day I got a text that NBA2k had ship and I got that the next day also.
I wouldn't worry too much about it as long as you don't report too many games missing. I've reported one or two missing during the 2+ years I've had blockbuster but nothing's really ever happened. Each one ended up being in my neighbors mail box... they would bring it over to my house, opened, after 3 or 4 weeks of being sent saying that it just showed up in their box. They don't even have Blockbuster online... I don't mind you watching my but don't sit on it for a month and lie about it.
^ that sucks.
but yeah, there''s sometimes a delay but never a no-show
So that game was ship on 10/10/09 and it was mark as lost, I have rented other games and return them with no issue since then.
Today in my mail I received, Halo ODST. WTF?? Did my mail man play it then finally delivered it after he was done. This over a month late. My friend said keep it since they wrote it off but I'm email them what happen and drop it in the mail box tomorrow.

It's only the single player disc they send, if it had the multiplayer disc also maybe I may have kept it.
