    There was a big thing in the UK just before we came over where several postmen were caught opening and resealing Christmas cards and removing vouchers etc. They were all charged and this sort of thing has been clamped down and is very very rare.I know this was not the case here as you had a Maf stamp

    How strange--we just received 3 large boxes of holiday gifts from my mother in the US. They didn't open anything at all. And she sends boxes quite frequently and they have never opened any of them.

    Well in theroy it could have been opened in the UK, then MAF inspected it because of all the sticky tape. But the pack was marked as a sender from East Yorkshire, so it was clear there was going to be no money / vouchers inside.
