A depressed, alcoholic New York postman appeared in court last week accused of hoarding more than a tonne of undelivered mail over the past decade. Mr Brucato subsequently admitted that he had stashed more letters in his work locker and at the Brooklyn apartment that he shares with his wife and child, where postal investigators later discovered some 40,000 items dating back to at least 2005. According to court documents, Mr Brucato was hired as a postman in 2001 and had been delivering mail along the same Brooklyn route for the past 11 years. His landlord told the New York Post that it had taken postal agents five hours to remove the accumulated hoard of post from the apartment.
