You have the right to remain silent...
When vandals hit the blue mailbox at my local substation, after the last drag every day, the postal clerks cover the mail slot with a sign so people can not deposit the mail through the slot to sit overnight.
Now the mailers have to use the drop slot inside the post office and not use the drive thru.
After the post office started this new practice, the vandals started breaking into the neighborhood cluster boxes.
Then the post office placed the sign in the picture on all the cluster boxes, so the vandals would know that they were committing a felony.
Now the scumbags just go to the neighborhoods where the postman walks the route and leaves mail at the mailbox on the porches.
Then the thieves go up to the porch and steal the mail. Times sure have changed in the last 40 years. Please bring back corporal punishment!

More Attention More Gain
Great article! When I was 16, I went to work in the post office, I wanted to make a trip to the sea, it turned out)) Dogs, people with different characters, free access to the mailbox, incorrectly written addresses on envelopes, here is an incomplete list of the main problems of postmen. But, with mail theft in those far times I did not come across. There were expensive magazines, they did not disappear, people did not complain. Times have changed.
Ugh! How frustrating!!! I hate it when people have no respect for other people's property.
