UPS loses package containing data tapes with personal and financial data on almost 4M people

I've always wonder how they 'lose' packages. I've been to a UPS transfer facility, where they move packages from the big trucks to the little trucks, and while it's possible for packages to fall off conveyer belts, it didn't seem obvious where they could 'hide' from that point. Is the stuff falling off the trucks? Random thefts? Getting run over by a forklift and then sent to the dumpster?
