The worst story in this regard I ever heard was the guy in Italy during WWII who received two sealed bottles of fine scotch... full of water. Think about it, some bastard not only stole the whisky, but made a special effort to fill the bottles and re-seal them so some schmuck on the front lines could know he'd been done out of it.
