For all the jokes in this thread, if it is bothering you that much why not take a couple of days holiday from work and sit in the car with a camera as suggested.

As daft as it sounds it is probably a lot easier than messing around with a video camera on the outside of the house.

Or send yourself a SAE with 'Please do not chew my f***ing email' in maker pen all over it 😉

Perhaps postie likes to snack on bacon frazzles, meat, or something else which makes the letters smell like dog food? Doesn't explain human teeth marks or Biro holes admittedly!

If you can borrow/buy a cheap webcam and have access to a pc or laptop there are various bits of software which let you use them as security cams I think. I've never actually used one but something like [url= http://www.ispyconnect.com ]this[/url] might do it? You'd probably need to set it up inside but that should be enough to see if the dog is the culprit or not...

Send yourself some coarse ground glass, in a flimsy envelope.

Coat outside of envelope with scotch bonnet chilli. And smeg.

OP, leave dog with relatives/friends during the day and see if the mail is still getting chewed.

If you put all your pieces of mail togther and the bite marks spell out 'help' I'd reckon he has a abductee in his van. Possibly the last man to query his postying?

I have a few questions, forgive me if they have already been asked.

1, Is this for real? (don't bother answering if not)
2, How do you know it's just this postman if you're not in when the post is delivered?
3, Assuming it is always the same postman, could it be the dog doesn't like something about this guy and therefore it is the only time he feels the need to attack the post as it's delivered by the nasty postie?

He probably whistles. That drives me mad, can't say I blame The Dog for wanting to wreck his stuff. You are lucky you don't have a cat, they show their displeasure by peeing on peoples things.

P.S - if it wasn't on STW I would say that you sound VERY paranoid "my postie is biting the mail before he posts it" I would be careful of mentioning this in front of normal same human beings with the power of rational thinking.

the SJ1000 action camera (about 55 quid on amazon) apparently (from reviews and desciptions not personal experience) has a motion sensor ie. will start recording when it detects movement.

and after youve captured the guilty party you can use it as, well, an action camera.

No use complaining to manager at a local level as they rarely do anything about it. Use the online complaints system, that way customer service make them do something about it an hassle the managers until resolved

Maybe your postman is just hungry.
Try leaving him out some steak?

I don't have a dog, but can't you just make sure the dog does not have access to the front door when the mail is delivered? Just put him in a different room and shut the door? Or am I missing something here? If it was my house I would simply out the dog in either the kitchen or lounge or dining room and shut the door..... Perhaps I really am missing something.

Or just get the dog to stay with a friend for a day and see what happens to the mail.

That makes sense. Doesn't everyone do that if they own a dog, and if not, why not?????

How did the postman damage the draft excluder?
Are they not kept inside the door? it's just a long pillow basically, how can it be damaged.... My head hurts.

There speaks the voice of experience.

OP: Can you describe the appearance of the suspect, please? I work close to the depot and also know of a few posties. The type of behaviour you describe would not be entirely surprising if one of the guys I have in mind are responsible for delivering your mail.

Stevestunts - does the postie you have in mind look a bit ruff then?
