automated service that allows you to quickly — and securely — provide
proof of your employment or income. You benefit from having control of the
process, since you authorize access to your information. The Work Number
can be used anytime, anywhere and its available 24 hours a day, seven days
a week. To verify employment, just give the verifier your social security
number and the Postal Service employer code — 12946 — and send them to
www.theworknumber.com or have them call 1-800-367-5690.

- Postal Inspectors nab DVD thief
A clerk recently pleaded guilty in federal court after he was arrested for
stealing DVD movies at the Houston P&DC. Inspectors observed the clerk, a
32-year employee, placing DVD movies into a plastic grocery bag. They took
him into custody and recovered the grocery bag — containing 122 DVD movies
still inside their mailing envelopes — from the clerk’s vehicle. The clerk
admitted stealing DVD movies from the mail for about a year. A search of
his residence yielded a total of 8,177 DVD movies worth more than
$117,000. -
