How Can People Be This Stupid?

You'd think the mail carrier would have recognized something wasn't right?

You'd think UPS would have wondered why they weren't getting any mail at their HQ [b]for three months[/b].

Man Allegedly Used Change Of Address Form To Move UPS Headquarters To His Apartment

[quote]As federal crimes go, this one seems to have been ridiculously easy to pull off.

Dushaun Henderson-Spruce submitted a U.S. Postal Service change of address form on Oct. 26, 2017, according to court documents. He requested changing a corporation's mailing address from an address in Atlanta to the address of his apartment on Chicago's North Side.

The post office duly updated the address, and Henderson-Spruce allegedly began receiving the company's mail — including checks. It went on for months. Prosecutors say he deposited some $58,000 in checks improperly forwarded to his address.

The corporation isn't named in the court documents, but the Chicago Tribune reports that it's the shipping company UPS.

For nearly three months, mail addressed to UPS's corporate headquarters was forwarded to Henderson-Spruce's apartment. He received so much mail that the mail carrier had to leave it in a USPS tub outside his door, the Tribune reports.[/quote]

Pretty stupid to redirect to his own residence, and deposit checks into his own accounts.
