Mail Theft Alert – Secure Your Mailbox! Tips, USPS Mail Drops

Posted on March 6, 2012 by PHNA Admin
We’ve had several neighbors email us that their USPS mail has been taken. Please take the proper precautions. 
Outgoing Mail 
As stated before, our mail carrier has strongly recommended to never raise your “I have mail” red flag on the mailbox. The mail carrier will see your outgoing mail when they drop off mail. 
If you see a neighbor with their mailbox indicator up, let them know the risk. 
To send mail, hit your local USPS blue mail drops – like at our friendly neighborhood CVS! See map image for other options.
  • 5th & Alvernon CVS (4:45 p.m. pickup) 
Incoming Mail 
Purchase a locking mailbox that has the right size slot for a mail carrier to drop off mail, but requires you to use a key to open. If someone wants to get into it, they’ll need a crowbar or other prying instrument. 
Secure Mailbox Cost 
Available at Lowe’s, Home Depot, Ace Hardware. Expect to spend from $35 up, depending on size.
