While I realize that media mail is subject to inspection, media mail boxes I sent December 31st, 2009 were cut open, and ransacked. Many books were removed and replaced with books I have never seen before. In this replacement, there was a travel size pack of tissues ("taschentucher solo talent") that looked like it was from another country along with the list of books below:
Beyond Horizons by David N. Spires
Engineering the space age by Bruille
Sherman Air Warfare by
Aerospace power in the 21st century
conflict culture and history regional dimensions
Volume I ideas, concepts, doctrine by Futrell

The largest box with the best of my books disappeared and I have yet to hear from the "Atlanta Mail Recovery Unit". I suspect someone will pocket the cash for the books stolen during their "auctions".

Many of my books had KStrait written on them. They were in a box labeled "small 16 3/4 x 12 1/2 x 12 1/2". It was also labeled "pratt" and "recyclable" There were several expensive science, math & engineering books I had hoped to use to prepare for an exam I must take in the spring. Instead I have a pile of books I have never seen before to remind me how foolish I was to think that USPS was safe and responsible.

I mailed the Parcel Search Request form January 11th, 2010 to the Atlanta Mail Recovery Unit with a list of my missing books. I believe the auctions this center has with stolen books/articles is inappropriate for a government run agency.
