Unsolved mysteries - TTM style

Out of the hundreds of TTMs I've sent out, I've experienced a lot. I've had return to senders or "REFUSED". I've had cards returned unsigned or with price lists. I've gotten cards back that were different than the one I've sent.
However, yesterday was a first. My wife texted me at work and said that I got an envelope back that said "Received without contents." Huh? I figured the TTM envelope returning to me had the card ripped out or came up in the mail. I was surprised to see that it wasn't a response back, but my original request!

I'm not sure what happened here. I could have failed to seal the envelope in haste when I sent it, or it could have naturally come undone. Someone could have opened it and swiped the card, although I'm not sure who would really want a 2013 Bowman Mark Montgomery. Based on the beat up envelope, I'd say that my request went through a lot, opened during the shipping process, and the contents spilled out.

I'll definitely try this one again.
