Stolen goods

We have to report two items stolen in transit from the UK to the US. The package was sent by Signed and Tracked mail and was opened and re-sealed. Inside was another envelope which contained a 20 pence piece instead. The recipient in the US has filed a complaint against the postal authorities. We shall obviously have to claim on our insurance for the loss.
