Backseat Driver

I'm currently having trouble with mail delivery. Despite having Informed Delivery, in which incoming mail is scanned a day or two before delivery, important and time-sensitive mailings in standard envelopes but with clear return addresses, probably known to local mailmen, keep disappearing while the junk mail keeps flowing...It's not as though those envelopes were touchy feely for credit cards, cash, or checks, either. I'm more inclined to think "harrassment, intimidation, and outright theft" as I live in a red area/state where digital voter registration lists were delivered up to TPTB and published on-line. In addition, I've lived at this address for over a decade but still receive mailings to previous owners, deceased relatives, neighbors, etc...interspersed with all the crap senior open enrollment solicitations. Since I live in an apt complex which is viewed as an alternative route so postal delivers might draw straws; different day-different truck-different driver. The postmaster seems relatively unconcerned - he'll look into it; mistakes happen. Both he and my senator's aide report other complaints have been filed. Some mail have magically appeared up to a month late, both franked and/or stamped, but without so much as a machine skidmark and not in a baggie chewed up in the sorter - Makes you wonder why one is being targeted.
