Others had a similar experience and royal mail were a joke when we contacted them basically saying that at times customers would have such issues due to the highly automised processes now in use for greater efficiency. Cheaper, safer and easier for the wife to catch a bus down and gives her a break from me into the bargain.

Yep, Christmas/birthday cards are a well known target for thieves. I hardly use the post any more and would never send anything of value that way.
