Goose 95 Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 I went on a spree there a few days ago, you know, the usual. A mag here, mag there, sights, that SGM trunnion, stuff like that. The only think I hadn't recieved yet was my Dinzag front sight base. I'd parked in front of the house so I couldn't see the mail box straight on, but when I walked around to take the trash out there was a lil boy and a truck in the street. The truck was slow to stopped and then took off, and the lil boy was walking the other way, watching the truck over his shoulder and holding something in his hand so that the truck couldn't see it. When the truck drove off the boy turned back around switched the item to the other hand and by this time he was already down the street a way. I have this sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach that my package from Dinzag might have arrived today and the lil bastard stole it...don't think I'll get much sleep for work tomorrow Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shandlanos 1,470 Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Keep an eye out for the little shit, and interrogate him next time you see him. Kids tend to be scared of adults and just do what they're told... Bring a recording device. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Goose 95 Posted August 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 I've yelled at some kids before when they didn't see me and stopped at my mailbox, I've been thinking about setting up a video camera Quote Link to post Share on other sites
netpackrat 566 Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 This is a good example of why I don't get mail or packages at my house... Everything goes to my PO box at the post office. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Makc 64 Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Maybe asking Dinzag for a tracking number and checking if the package has been delivered would ease the pain of anticipation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheDarkHorse 216 Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Lots of juvenile delinquents in my neighborhood... I use USPS whenever possible because we have locked mailboxes. That and I genuinely hate UPS. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

G O B 3,516 Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 If your package was delivered, then call the Postal Inspector - this is a federal crime, local Cops will not usually be concerned with it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Goose 95 Posted August 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 I emailed Dinzag last night, now word yet. Soon as I find out for sure I plan on informing the post office asap. Also a coworker told me that I can have items shipped to hime from now on, all packages go straight to the office at his appt to get picked up there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
evlblkwpnz 3,418 Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 You should ship yourself a box full of diarrhea that will spray everywhere when the package is opened Give me your address. Coffee does a number on me and I can drink a whole pot for you. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Goose 95 Posted August 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 And yea this ate me up inside all day today, lol it was all I could think about to get home and check my email. You should ship yourself a box full of diarrhea that will spray everywhere when the package is opened Give me your address. Coffee does a number on me and I can drink a whole pot for you. Man I work with some twisted minds, you shoulda heard some of the ideas that were brainstormed today. I like yours, but I'll have to remember not to accidentally open it when it arrives 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Goose 95 Posted August 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Just a thought, in case this doesn't work out and I end up taking it for a loss, does anyone happen to have an Dinzag tall front sight base layin around that they'd like to sell? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
netpackrat 566 Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Could be worse. It could have been an irreplaceable S-308 front sight post that you had him modify. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BOB A. BOOEY 45 Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Im sure there is a tracking # and quite honestly you should already have it. Check its status before you freak beyond that perhaps a blanket party for the little creep? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asmodeus 13 Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Starts stuffing bars of soap in a sock.... Now where is that little fucker? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Goose 95 Posted August 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 (edited) I checked a few times already, the email I have is only a reciept and has no shipping information, I wrote them again this morning in hopes that it didn't just get covered up in their inbox. But I did learn today that one of the guys that works on the tactical range at my work is an ex-postal inspector. As soon as I find out for sure that it has been delievered I'm gonna hit that fella up and have him advise me on how to exactly handle the situation. Asmodeus, I have plenty of tube socks, but shamefully I've been showering with shampoo until I get paid next, can I borrow a bar or two from ya sir? edited for spelling Edited August 8, 2012 by Goose Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Goose 95 Posted August 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 THANK THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY...I just got an email from Dinzag, they've been without internet for about two weeks now. They're trying to catch back up and haven't shipped my package yet!! Words can not express how happy I am to hear that news. I'm gonna have a couple of big ol' shots of Devil's Cut! 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

U.S. Pratorean 1,234 Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 My mail box is one of those big ones that you can put a good size box in and also has a slot and a lock on it. The carrier has a key for pkgs. and the slot for letters. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
telero 4 Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Glad to hear that it wasn't stolen. Hopefully it'll stay that way. My suggestion if it had been delivered (besides contacting the postal inspector) would have been to talk to the kid the next time I saw him. Don't accuse him of anything, just say you noticed him and that truck when one of your packages went missing. Ask him if he saw anything suspicious, and mention that some "firearm stuff" was stolen and the FBI/ATF/Secret Service might need to talk to him about it and that truck. Chances are it would have shown up pretty quickly...or ended up in the bottom of a lake I suppose. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
storm6490 2,768 Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Are you really going to let yourself get all worked up over material possessions? Defend yourself but don't let your mind run wild with the devil. What good did all that worrying do? Ulcer, bloodpressure, waste of time? Cover your ass in the future and remember we're here for a good time, not a long time. Stressing over parts getting lifted out of a mail box? You must be retired! Best of luck! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MT Predator 2,294 Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) That sucks. I can mail you a live Eastern Diamondback Rattler if you want. I come across them almost every week. Edit: Shit, I just caught where the package hasn't shipped.. Edited August 10, 2012 by MT Predator 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
