Postal Workers Busted Stealing Netflix DVDs
By 1.9.06
Colorado police have charged two postal workers for plucking out Netflix DVDs from the mail.

Any Netflix subscriber has probably had a movie or two go missing over the course of their subscription. We wonder if disc theft is far more widespread than Netflix would like to acknowledge.
