Mailbox theft and vandalism is a reoccuring problem. Rural mailboxes often are located at great distances from houses on very lightly traveled roads. Mailbox theft is one favourite way to obtain personal information. This practice is exactly what it sounds like with perpetrators going through your personal mail and/or taking letters that belong to you. Mailbox theft typically takes some subtlety and finesse; a potential ID thief is less likely to stand in front of the box trying to jimmy it open while cars and possibly pedestrians go by.
Mail items which are not maintained in an enclosed housing are subject to damage or loss due to high winds, heat, high moisture, rain, snow, and sleet. The mailbox is designed to allow postal carriers to have quick and easy access to the central cavity 14 so they can operate efficiently, while maintaining the mail items in a condition which is safe from the external ambient weather conditions.
Mailbox security is a key issue for protection against theft of your valuable mail and identity. Many mailboxes are susceptible to thievery because of their isolated and secluded locations. Mail and packages can only be picked up by the addressee.
Postal inspectors recommend these actions to protect your mailbox and any mail that may be inside it: Immediately report mailbox theft to your postmaster. If you have information on mailbox vandalism, call the Postal Inspection Service to report it at (626) 405-1200 or fax to (626) 405-1207. Postal Inspection Service, a federal law enforcement agency within the Postal Service, is charged with enforcing federal criminal statutes governing mail. These federal statutes include such areas as mail theft, identity theft, mail fraud, prohibited mailings, and the protection of Postal Service assets and employees.
Mailboxes that require a key to get into will protect you from identity theft – as the thief simply won’t have access to your mail.
Another high tech way to catch mailbox theft is to use a hidden camera.
