Thanks for the idea Jim. I might. But it seems the trail is by now well and
truly cold. Yes, it was an international shipment, starting in Salem S.C.,
USA. The thief covered the cut in the seal with a fresh US Post AirMail
sticker, which is a pointer to where the theft took place. Fresh US postal
stickers would be available only in the USA.
Not insured; I didn't lose a huge lot of $$ in the deal thank goodness.
Probably $30 US; not that I have it to throw around =|;-( ..
Thanks for the thought. Brian, in New Zealand
