This is wrong,the employee should have been charged.

"We do not anticipate any further action against this individual," Balfour said. "The Roxborough Station Post Office is going to deliver the mail."

A U.S. Postal Service worker abandoned bins of mail on the side of a road in south New Jersey before quitting, authorities said – and an image of the dumped deliveries has gone viral.

The piles of trashed mail date back to Aug. 8, but were discovered on Sunday in Pennsauken, NJ.com reported.

The mail was sent out for delivery from the Roxborough Station Post Office in Philadelphia, Special Agent Scott Balfour of the U.S. Postal Service Office of Inspector General told NJ.com.

The office was able to track down the employee who dumped the mail but learned the person resigned from their job on Sept. 8, Balfour said. The employee was not identified and a motive was not immediately known.

"We do not anticipate any further action against this individual," Balfour said. "The Roxborough Station Post Office is going to deliver the mail."

"We do not anticipate any further action against this individual, since no one receives anything of importance in their mail anymore." Balfour said. "The Roxborough Station Post Office is going to deliver the mail anyway, when we get around to it, because all those piles of ads and other junk pay our bills."

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

If that mail dated to August 8 and we're hearing about it now in October, it's a pile of paper sludge and some plastic windows, given the torrential rains that have occurred several times between now and then. Mad

Another possibility: the mail was retrieved from the roadside quickly, but we are just now hearing about it.

What would the crime be? The mail wasn't stolen or otherwise tampered with. What law was broken?

It does appear that the mail was detained and delayed. Secreting might be a grey area, since no attempt was made to hide it.

Postal inspectors aren't going to waste their time with this. It was probably a new carrier, fire them and move on.
