UCPOPO,
This is a classic case of redistribution of wealth. Since you obviously work for a living and get a paycheck, you are therefore wealthy and have too much. Too much money, too much stuff and I think everyone [on Mars] would agree that this money you spent on the knife would have been better spent for the enrichment of someone less fortunate. I'll bet if you met these people on the street they would lecture you on mandatory health care, raising taxes on the rich (like yourself) and of course solar panels and electric cars. (of course closed up tight in their two car garage is an SUV and a double capacity water heater).
Its scumbags like this that make 90% of the frustration in society. You should have perp-walked them in front of their entire neighborhood for mail fraud. Plus the knife probably came from out of state so that is interstate mail fraud, not to mention because they both obviously knew about it you can throw in conspiracy. Since they broke up the package you can surmise they intended to distribute the stolen property, so throw that in too. After an hour in your hot car while you "sorted things out" I would have made a very public transfer [at dinner time] to whatever federal agency handles mail fraud.
(I guess that's why I didn't become a cop!)
Oh yeah, just so I don't get in trouble again for non-knife comments, how do you like your new BK10?

Should have pulled em out into the middle of his lawn and tea-bagged him. Altho there is the risk that he might actually enjoy it.
All seriousness aside, I think he felt concerned when he saw the uniform, so chose the option of self preservation (aka denial denial denial). That my friends is why God created the Taser. Don't even need to use it (batteries cost money) just have it in your hand, Perhaps even casually speak about the last guy you tasered, how certain parts of his anatomy just up and exploded... " You sure you haven't received a packaged addressed to me ?" " Uhhh....... Oh you mean THAT package. Yes I do have your stuff.... I... I... uhh...I was confused... I thought you were asking to see MY package... Yeah, that's it.. Uh Sir."

Good old UPS! I had to pay a $23 brokerage fee on a $25 item.
Guy actually tried to call me on not saying "thank you"

Glad to hear the OP got his knife. I have had some bad experiences in the past with ups, I use usps or fedex when possible. Looks like you made the correct call here, although violance would have been running through my mind at this point. Good job sir.
What a couple of FU individuals. That MoFo deserved a bitch slap just for trying to get over. I would absolutely see if any charges could be filed. If not, he would be gettin some traffic violations everytime he made a mistake & get it on video as well, so when he says "harassment", you can just press the play button ! After about 5 tickets, i'd say "I guess we're about even now. Dirty rotten scumbag.
^^^lol^^^
Perfect idea, all Beckerheads report to UCPOPO's residence and then we all go visit the "previous owners" of his BK10. What happens next would get me in trouble if I typed it here.
Lets just say if Flexxx's sheath and the movie Deliverance had a love child, it would commit suicide after knowing what is in my head.

I had a similar problem today.
On Wednesday I received a note saying that I owed a customs chrage on a parcel (£20.26!). I went online and paid as soon as I could, expecting it to arrive Friday.
So Friday arrives and I had to go out this morning for an hour or so. I get back home and no delivery notice. I start packing for Annual Camp as I'm leaving early the next morning and still no delivery.
At about 3ish, I decide to ring the Royal Mail depot and ask when the parcel's gonna be delivered, seeing as I'm not going to be around for a week or so. They ask for name and address and the ladt replies "Oh, that was sent out this morning. I sorted it and gave it to the postman myself. It's a long thin box"
"It hasn't arrived here."
"Let me contact the postman and get back to you"
Five minutes later:
"Do you have building work going on at the front of your house? And a shed in your garden?"
"No"
"No?! The postman left it with the builders who put it in the shed in the garden!"
"No builders/shed here"
"I'll talk to him again and get back to you"
One minute later:
"He delivered it to 122, not 112. He's so laid back. Are you able to get there yourself?"
Luckily it was only less than half aminute's walk away and the builders handed over a parcel with a distinctive bell-like rattle. The builder said that he thought it strange being addressed to someone other than the house owner and with a different address!
So it looks like Royal Mail's no better than UPS!
At least we got our BK10s though. Mine looks really pretty in her new micarta handles. Got to send Azwelke an email now.

PS - thanks to everyone who helped get this going!
