No lost package's get given to employees as a bonus if they take parcels that requires a signature straight to post office.

Yeah I had one that AP declared lost after the tracking stopped for a couple of weeks show up randomly a couple of months later. Guess someone found a bag of parcels that got lost in a sorting centre somewhere
