Man finds a lot of mail under some bushes

(9/09/07 - KTRK/HOUSTON, TX) (KTRK) -- The US Postal Service is trying to figure out how hundreds of pieces of mail went undelivered and ended up stashed underneath some bushes instead.

Joel Leija says he was cleaning his parent's yard in northeast Houston when he found stacks of letters and packages. Some were certified letters, credit card bills and even child support checks.

"If it hadn't been accidentally dropped first of all, it wouldn't have been under the hedges and secondly it probably would have been reported [and] there would have been people looking for it," Leija said.

Leija is now working with the postal service on returning the mail.
