Just spoke to a neighbor who worked at UPS and recently retired.
Said sometimes that if they see a package at the center that is exceptional long that would not make the curves on the belt system they pull it as it would get stuck on a curve and the belt would keep running and packages would back up the belt system
So they hand process it. Maybe this was what was done and then the ball was dropped

Belts were always getting jammed. You’d break the jam and send the packages down the belt. If someone pulled it off the belt they wouldn’t just set it down anywhere they’d hand carry it to where it needed to be. You would always walk the belts after the trucks were unloaded to find all the letters and small packages that fell off. Can’t see how something that size gets “lost” in the building. If it was stolen I’d love to know how the thief got it out of the building and off UPS property. You can get away with it once but UPS is deadly serious about employee theft.
