There are some tips residents should be aware of to minimize exposure to mail thieves.Use the letter slots at your post office to mail letters, or give them to a letter carrier. Deposit mail in blue collection boxes before the last pick up time that appears on the schedule posted on each box. Promptly remove mail from your mailbox after delivery, especially if you're expecting checks, credit cards, or other negotiable items. If you won't be home when the items are expected, ask a trusted friend or neighbor to pick up your mail. Don’t leave it in your mailbox overnight. Don’t send cash in the mail. Ask your bank for “secure” checks that can’t be altered. If you will be away from home for more than three days, ask the Post Office to hold your mail until you return. You can initiate a mail hold at the Post Office or online at USPS.com.
If you believe your mail was stolen, report it immediately to your local postmaster or a Postal Inspector. Postal Inspectors may determine whether your problem is isolated or part of a larger mail theft problem in your neighborhood--and it may help them locate and apprehend the thieves.
