Silas Screenlicker was caught by alert U.S. postal clerks trying to get himself mailed to a small town in Italy. "He wouldn't have been as noticeable if he had clothes on," one clerk told the arresting officers who escorted Mr. Screenlicker out of the post office lobby and to a nearby jail. "It was all a terrible mistake!" Screenlicker screamed as he got in the police car. One of the arresting officers expressed surprise that the man was even able to find the post office, as his eyes were covered with stamps. A spectator swore that the stamps were valuable old British Stamps and that some of them looked to be priceless.
