Most of those guys (Postal Inspectors) are squared-away individuals who don't really have a lot to occupy their time, so they tend to jump at the chance to get some "field" time, lol! Not saying that they don't work hard, as all of the one's I've dealt with are great people, just that they don't get a lot of opportunity to work cases and make things happen. Hope things work out for you and nice choice on the 1911. Have a few of those myself and while I don't carry them, they are fun to shoot and nostalgic to have in the safe; classics and all.
Thanks for the comment on the 1911. As for the kids they are going to have their day. And if it was a mail carrier...oh man that guys life is over. Commuting a federal offense as a government employee is bad news. Goodbye freedom hello federal pen.

Send yourself a nice thick envelope of folded paper, with your camera running to catch whoever gets into your mailbox. Sometimes it's not getting taken out of the mailbox, but intercepted by the mail carrier.
thats a great idea. Might try that.
