Sounds like Newman

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - A Belgian postman who lightened his mailbag by holding back thousands of letters and packages at home for up to five years now faces dismissal.
What was strange in this case was that he kept them all in his flat and that, while he opened a lot, he appears to have left the contents in the envelopes," a spokesman for the postal service said.
An internal control alerted the Post Office to the problem and prompted a police search of the man's home last week.
"A couple of thousand items of mail were found in his flat. We sorted through them last week and they are being sent out today with a note of apology," the spokesman said.
