If I wanted to be a monster and screw over the guy who already successfully lent me a package of 100 PAL games back in September, and was nice enough to lend me another, and say "well it's all your fault for not paying for more insurance!", I could do that.

But that is not the kind of person I am. He was doing me the favor. If not for my asking, he'd still have all his games right now. And I'll make it right if I have to.

But I'm still holding out hope that someone at USPS might notice this and lend a hand.

My dad sold an original Strat-o-matic game on Ebay last year and sent it through USPS insured at $1500+. It got stolen in transit. Why would someone steal a lightweight, unmarked box unless they had access to the insurance amount and could get away with it? I don't trust USPS. Sorry for your loss, I hope your package turns up.
