When I worked at UPS we had a division-wide bounty for information leading to the recovery of a missing 70lb Gatling gun- Glocks are small potatoes.

When I was working at a terminal, we had a big-rear end part of an AA gun turret sitting in one corner for several months because it had arrived without any paperwork or labels, probably unloaded by the driver so we didn't even know who'd sent it. Then when someone finally managed/bothered to find out where it was going, no-one could find it anymore and no-one knew who had taken it. :iiam:

It looked a lot like the bottom part of this, only wider and with some markings in Swedish:

Also all the parcel posties were permanently pissed on red wine. If a bottle breaks in a case of 12 the whole box is written off and supposed to be 'destroyed' in a hopper out the back of the distribution centre. The hopper was always filled with empty wine stained cardboard but very few bottles.

Around here they require alcohol vessels damaged during transit always be returned in their entirety to the brewery/distillery/whatever. If the bottles are smashed to bits, necks with intact tops will do. And they do count them.

TFR is full of stories of people ordering firearms that get left on the front porch and stolen. :911:

UPS left ten crates of ammunition on my parent's porch with no signature once.

I had it delivered to my parent's house because I expected to be there when UPS normally delivered large/heavy poo poo in our area, and (as you would expect) ammunition was 'adult signature required'. The delivery guy was early, and no one was home.
Had I known they were just going to leave it, I would have had him take it to my house and saved the effort.

Honestly though, the only time I've ever had to actually sign for ammo was when a supervisor was training a new guy, so I guess I shouldn't have expected much.

Here in Frankfurt I'm learning that delivery people will just straight up give your poo poo to your neighbors (even way down the block) if you're not home when they try to deliver it to you. Most of the time they don't even leave a card, they just rely on you to figure out where your stuff is. I asked Amazon to have them at least leave a note to tell me which river they threw my poo poo into and Amazon just said "lol no".

Couple of scumfuck lawyers are about to get hammered by the state bar association in Arizona.

Here's the scam. You're a little weasel and someone says something mean about you online. You'd like to get Google to remove these mean things from their search results, so you send them a letter claiming you were defamed by this person and these mean things are defamatory. Google turns around and says "No, sorry, we're not going to treat it as defamatory just on your say-so, send us a court decision showing that it's defamatory."

Now you could sue the person you're claiming defamed you, except that they didn't actually defame you so this would just be an expensive lawsuit that probably gets you a SLAP countersuit and costs you a lot of money. So what you do is concoct a fictitious person, file a lawsuit against this fictitious person, file an agreement whereby this fictitious defeandant says "I'm sorry, it was defamatory, I agree it should be taken down," and get the court to approve this settlement. Then you send a copy of that to Google and say "See? Everyone agrees it's defamatory, take it down."

Lots of times this thing gets performed by shady reputation-management companies hired by little weasels, but occasionally actual lawyers are involved. These two idiots in Arizona, Aaron Kelly and Dan Warner (of Kelly/Warner Law), have been doing this for a while:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...m=.3aace59e3dd7
http://reason.com/volokh/2018/01/29/arizona-bar-accuses-lawyers-of-suing-fak

Anyway, here's the state bar about to come down on them:

https://reason.com/assets/db/15172543163948.pdf

quote:

[30.] In 2016, Respondent Warner was hired by Joseph Chinnock to remove allegedly defamatory posts about Chinnock from the internet. At that time, Respondent Warner was already aware that Chinnock was accused in Florida of fraud and using a fake identity [because Kelly/Warner Law had earlier gotten the court file in the Florida Kogan v. Chinnock case, in which Chinnock was accused of fraud and impersonation].

[31.] The allegedly defamatory posts were purported to originate from a woman named Krista Ivanski.

[32.] Prior to filing the complaint on behalf of Chinnock, Respondent Warner and others in his firm communicated with an individual identifying herself as defendant Krista Ivanski. All communication was conducted through email. No one from the firm spoke with Ivanski on the phone or in person.

[33.] The email addresses for Ivanski were provided to the law firm by Chinnock. The email addresses were sandrabond249@gmail.com and sarawood7 66@gmail.com.

[34.] In June 2016, Respondent Warner filed a complaint on behalf of Joseph Chinnock .... Prior to filing the complaint, Respondent Warner was aware that Chinnock was accused in Florida of fraud and using a fake identity.

[35.] The complaint in Chinnock v. Ivanski alleges defendant Krista Ivanski defamed Plaintiff Joseph Chinnock by posting 38 false statements about Chinnock on the internet....

[37.] Respondent Warner took no action to determine if the statements were true or false before filing the lawsuit.

[38.] The first URL listed in the complaint (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=669614.0) routes to a page wherein individuals complain about a scam run by Joseph Chinnock. The page claims Chinnock uses the aliases of Sara Wood, Sara Ward, and Patrick McDowell to run scams.

[39.] Sarawood766@gmail.com was one of the email addresses for Ivanski provided to the firm by Chinnock.

[40.] The complaint states Ivanski resides in Turkey and Chinnock resides in Colorado. The complaint states, "[t]he parties purposefully availed themselves of the benefits of Arizona law," but does not explain how the state courts in Arizona have jurisdiction to hear the matter....

[42.] Respondent Warner knew that Krista Ivanski is not a real person. Krista Ivanski was fabricated to serve as defendant in the matter.

[43.] Respondent Warner knew that Krista Ivanski did not post the 38 allegedly defamatory statements.

[44.] Respondent Warner knew that the 38 allegedly defamatory statements were not posted by the same person.

[45.] Respondent Warner knew that legal action regarding many of the allegedly defamatory statements was barred by the [Arizona one-year] statute of limitations ....

[46.] Alternatively, if Respondent Warner did not know the information in paragraphs 42-45, Respondent Warner failed to investigate the matter prior to filing the complaint.

[47.] In June 2016, Respondent Warner filed a document entitled "Stipulation For Permanent Injunction and Dismissal Without Prejudice," ostensibly signed by Krista Ivanski. Warner knew that Ivanski's signature was forged or failed to investigate the matter prior to filing the document....

[50.] The proposed order is signed by Ivanski and notarized by Amanda Sparks, a notary from Fulton County, Georgia. The Plaintiff's Verification attached to the original complaint and signed by Chinnock was also notarized in Fulton County, Georgia. According to the complaint, neither Ivanski nor Chinnock reside in Georgia.

[51.] There is no notary in Fulton County named Amanda Sparks. A search performed via the Georgia Superior Court Clerk's Cooperative Authority notary search shows no notary in Fulton County named Amanda Sparks. The notarization by Amanda Sparks is a forgery.

[52.] Respondent Warner knew that the notarization by "Amanda Sparks" from Fulton County, Georgia, was a forgery or failed to investigate the matter prior to filing the document.


[53.] In August 2016, Respondent Warner filed a document entitled "Stipulation For Amended Order For Permanent Injunction," ostensibly signed by Krista Ivanski. The address used for Ivanski in the Stipulation For Amended Order For Permanent Injunction differs from the addresses used for Ivanski in earlier pleadings.

[54.] The proposed Amended Order For Permanent Injunction is signed by Ivanski and notarized by "Samantha Pierce," a notary from Colorado. According to the complaint, Chinnock resides in Colorado while Ivanski resides in Turkey.

[55.] There is no notary in Colorado named Samantha Pierce. A notary search performed via the Colorado Secretary of State's website returns "no records found" for notary Samantha Pierce. The notarization by Samantha Pierce is a forgery.

[56.] The notary ID used by Samantha Pierce is 20121234567. The sample notary seal displayed on the Colorado Secretary of State's general notary information page uses notary ID 20121234567.

[57.] Respondent Warner knew that the notarization by Samantha Pierce was a forgery or failed to investigate the matter prior to filing the document.

[58.] The request for an amended order for permanent injunction was granted by the Court.

[59.] Chinnock v. Ivanski was a fraudulent lawsuit designed to achieve client Chinnock's goal of removing online criticism without having to prove the elements of defamation.

It's the contrast that makes a difference. If everyone in the crowd was at that level of energy the whole time, it wouldn't be a problem (see also: any other sport). But if it's dead quiet and someone starts screaming like someone stuffed a snake down their pants, yeah you're going to flinch.
