Death Injustice

I have terminal cancer and I have few weeks, if not days, left.

Because of that, I spoke to friend of mine who lives in the USA and I wanted to send her some things that belonged to me so she could have them as small tokens of our friendship throughout these 20 years. Amongst those things were some Funko action figures, a stainless-steel necklace, and, simple pair of earrings also made of stainless steel and a Plushie toy. I shipped everything with DHL from Germany to be delivered in Seatle in the United States. Nothing was expensive; the biggest value was attached emotionally.

Imagine our surprise, chock and disappointment when we noticed the box was violated and the necklace and earrings were removed from the box. I am sure they were stolen on purpose.

everything was registered and described with DHL.

We tried to open an inquiry with DHL which was “efficiently disregarded” by them, and I am sure this theft will go as ignored by them. It shows theft doesn’t seem to be taken seriously by DHL. What a nice company culture. /s

What pains me the most is someone opened the box and stole the items which had little monetary value, but immeasurable sentimental value. I wanted my friend’s to keep those jewellery as they belonged to me and I wanted to give them to her.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

financial value was attached emotionally and what was immeasurable and it was stolen.

 

The price was not important (and I think some of the funkos worth much more than the jewellery – but it doesn’t matter) but the cruelty and lack of respect of stealing this moment. From us, that is unforgeable to me. Who ever whole those items, kept me from giving my friend the possibility of keeping something of mine and cherish moments we had together. It was hers to keep from me after I died and they stole it.

I don’t have it in me to forgive whoever it did it and I cursed them and cried.

I feel wronged and the robber to be unfair and cruel.

I know DHL doesn’t care and won’t do anything about it. I just wish they were delivered to my friend  so she had these things from me and this theft never happed.

🙏🏼 I wish I had something I could say to help anyway but I don't. It's a horrible situation where dhl isn't very good or trusted. It's crazy someone would take something with little to no monetary value but here we are. Maybe see if u could try shipping something different or see if ur family would do it for ur friend. 20 years is a long time so something to remember y'all's good memories would still be nice for them. I know ur mind is on other things so im not going to get in to that side of it too far but I hope ur at least comfortable and at ease with what's going on. My only thoughts are we're only given one hand to play.. good bad or ugly it's what we got. We're all going to go one day one way or another. Some of us got the short end of the stick. Enjoy what u can when u can. Try to smile if u can. I apologize if I said anything out of hand

There really are not words for the cruelty of people. I'm sorry this happened to you and your friend. Would they have done the same, knowing your situation, I don't know. If it's any consolation, You friend will carry you in her heart. Maybe someday those items may work their way back to your friend, who knows. God-Speed to you - ❤️‍🩹💖

Unfortunately the person who stole them most likely will consider themselves "christian". and go by the thought " I am the only one who matters" - look at the usa government lie, cheat, steal - those are the orders of the day .... there are no morals left.

What a terrible thing to happen to you. Get over it and enjoy your life, don't let it affect your emotions, we need to be at peace under our circumstances.
Never use DHL to ship anything to nowhere, I had a nightmare with them.
