Dead Letters

In a case that has everybody in Tigertown, S.C. absolutely freaking out, a Clemson University mail van was stolen Monday afternoon and found later that night in flames.

Between 4,000-6000 pieces of mail were in the van, which according to the Greenville News (a.k.a. La Liberbad) was stolen outside of the school’s administrative office Monday and found ten hours later, still smoldering, in a wooded area of Oconee County.

The driver of the van – a University postal carrier – left the vehicle running and unattended.

Courtesy of La Liberbad (a.k.a. the Greenville News), here’s a piclink of what the cops found on the scene:

Yeah …

Given that there’s no shortage of strained relations at Clemson these days, conspiracy theories abound as to whether or not this was a routine mail van theft and subsequent arson … or something else.

In fact, just say “routine mail van theft and subsequent arson” aloud to yourself a few times and see how ridiculous you feel.
