BERLIN (Reuters) - A German court handed a former postman a 10-month suspended jail sentence and 200 hours community service for failing to deliver around 61,000 letters, authorities said Wednesday.
Police discovered mounds of post that had accumulated over two-and-a-half-years filling the rooms and basement of the 36-year-old's house after locals complained about missing deliveries. The man resigned his job.
"He said he had too many letters to deliver on his round," said Bernd Lottes, spokesman for the court in the western town of Neuss. "He was hoping to deliver the other stuff when he had a bit of breathing space."
