When I was living out in Portland, in the last few weeks I lived there, I was moving all of the photos I had taken in 4 years of west coast adventures from my apartment to storage.
While parked on the street near a friends house in a residential neighborhood, someone broke in and stole all 3 bags of photos. Months later, I got an envelope from the Portland police with 5 pieces of unopened mail. The police had found my bags in a dumpster nearby, had taken the mail out (since taking the mail was proof of a Federal crime), and thrown the photos back into the dumpster. I think I actually hate the police more for that than I do the original thief. Although I guess not really, since I would kneecap the thief, but not the police.
