When I was awarded MVP by Microsoft in like, 2004, they sent me a really nice watch by DHL.

I went to DHL warehouse and picked up the shipping box. I opened the box as I walked to my car. Inside was the watch box. I opened the watch box. Inside was no watch. Inside was a folded piece of DHL-headed yellow paper which had the following hand-written on it:

SORRY I STOLE YOUR WATCH

I need a follow up...what happened? Did they send you another?

Yes, Microsoft, bless them, sent me another out right away. I don't think anyone followed up with DHL. I went back in the DHL office after I found the piece of paper and showed them and we all had a good laugh, but I think they told me to just call Microsoft to sort it out.
