That is insane!

Sadly we have a reoccurring theme in our city of people breaking into these group community mailboxes in subdivisions all over the city.....

Unfortunately, ours was hit a couple years ago....so the post office held our mail until repairs were made and a security system installed.....Down at the post office you met all these people in line that were victims of the same situation from all over town!!! SAD!

@Kachina624 Yes we hear of that all the time.  I don't know if we're not sometimes to the point that the criminal has more rights than the victim.

 Just got our mail delivered.

We received our first Christmas card. It was mailed yesterday. And it was mailed from about 50 miles away. I am impressed.

No consequences. Catching on that getting away with it is a certainty.  Time to turn things around.  Scary actually.  Fiinding myself very aware lately and I live rural.

I know the uptick in crime isn't limited to a few larger cities; they are just the ones that get publicized in the media .DS used to work when he was in college in a very small, upscale shopping center. He did the window display lighting /special effects.  Each shop had its own, off-duty police officer who escorted customers to their cars if they purchased more than $5k in merchanise, which was almost everyone.  I know they still do this and the shop owners have to pay for this security themselves to attract customers. What a sad commentary on how things have become.

When I taught in ABQ, I had MS students who had ankle monitors and would purposely wear shorts, even when it was really cold, so they could show off their monitors; a status symbol if you belonged to the right group.

DH was born and raised in Detroit. It is not the same city now as when he grew up. Same is true for so many large cities now. Very sad.

I saw a USPS mailbox so full of mail that envelopes were literally falling out of the box. Mail pickup hadn't happened for several days. Makes it pretty easy for thieves to help themselves to whatever they want.
