Here's a little trivia for you. Notice above that I sent my package that's missing by USPS Registered Mail . The diamond referred to below is of course the World famous Hope diamond.

Henry Harry Winston, a leading American jeweler and gem dealer, bought the diamond from Mrs. McLeans estate in 1949. In November 1958 Winston donated the diamond to the Smithsonian Institution, intending it to be the foundation for a National Jewel Collection. With his years of experience in shipping jewelry all over the world, Winston chose to have the diamond delivered by registered mail. He told a reporter for the Washington Post that . . . [registered mail is] the safest way to ship gems. . . . Ive sent gems all over the world that way.
