I sent a DVD by post, it's lost, will the police search?

[streaky]

Amid reports that another six CDs from HMRC have previously "been lost in transit", my daughter reported that a DVD I sent her by post has not arrived. Will the police turn my home and hers and the Royal Mail sorting offices upside down looking for it? It's valuable as it's the original video of her wedding. Can the BiB please deploy more officers than are usually engaged in a murder enquiry into looking for it?

WRT the two missings CDs, as there are continual assurances that they are most likely still on HRRC premises, why are the police involved at all? This is not a case of theft, merely of something lost "in the post"?

The mail is a different issue to the govts debacle as they used internal post and private couriers . However I don't trust the Royal mail to deliver anything 100%.
They lose millions of quids worth of stuff all the time.

"Nothing to hide nothing to fear as far as I am concerned. More than happy to continue to supply every increasing amounts of personal data. Have my medical history, fingerprints, and DNA. Stick em all on one big database and post it where ever you like."

I sense a tiny weeny crack starting to appear in the wall.

As well as calling in the police, I notice something else that has gone without comment is that the data was posted to a private company who "assure" us that they have deleted all the data (and presumbly backups taken while they had the data.

I assume this is the same "assurance" given by the private companies who retain copies of all the DNA samples they provide for the police database but this time "assure" us that it is safe and secure and only for backup purposes.

No, no, no the police arent looking for mislaid property they are protecting the public image of Gordon Brown.

Subtle, yet significant, difference.

ahh bit like the difference between a democracy with a police force to maintain the law & keep the peace
or
a dictatorship with a police farce to keep the disgruntled out of the public eye

I think I might give the old bill a call the next time I loose my car keys.

Why? Could it affect the financial integrity of 25,000,000 people?

WRT the two missings CDs, as there are continual assurances that they are most likely still on HRRC premises, why are the police involved at all? This is not a case of theft, merely of something lost "in the post"?

And, if they are "still on the premises", why are the police searching TNT's depots? - Streaky

Pop down to you local TNT depot. Apparently all lost disks end up there, even if you haven't used their services. I'm sure TNT won't mind.
