There is no way I can bring myself to believe that so many thefts are happening in customs in so many places just to this one shipper, who conveniently is the only one who can file a claim, let alone that so many customs thieves happen to stock pile those books, apparently.
 

Some background how German customs usually working

The people working in customs in Germany having a similiar status to people working at Police in Germany. I have never heard about issues on stolen things by customs in Germany. They are belong to public sector and they are typical "German" correct in their work.

If Germans export something to other countries (as it sounds in your cases), they usually never open or check parcels when they are leaving Germany. I don't know any reason why they should do so.

If you declare export to customs either they will check randomly the items before you close the parcel directly at your company or you have to go to their offices and show the items you would like to export. Then you got export papers and customs work has been done - so no need to open parcels at airport or border.

If you want to import something to Germany the customs will open parcels on a regular basis to make their controls. This is necessary to check correct documents for customs duty or VAT.
