Our mailboxes were raided last night by thieves, again. They're getting braver as it happened during prime time 5-9pm. With all the purchases people are receiving they are making our street their own personal shopping mall! I have a locking mailbox, but not sturdy enough and many are reinforcing theirs with padlocks. I think I need to make a trip to Lowes today.
Wow, ever considered doing a paid for box type situation where there is a store front?
I heard something recently, " a lock only keeps honest people out."
I had my first vehicle break in about 3 weeks ago, they didnt grab anything, just a carseat and random stuff in my car..but it could have been much worse.
Ive been considering getting a box that i can have my sensitive mail delivered to, bank things etc..

ToV, you're right about "a lock only keeps honest people out". If they really want it they'll get it, especially with flimsy locks. A couple of neighbors have drilled holes into their mailbox and put in two padlocks, plus their existing lock. Luckily these dirtbags are only looking for easy pickings and anything locked,
they pass on by. They're kind of in a hurry, if you know what I mean.
This wave of mailbox raid happens mostly on holidays in many countries. Here in north EU it is something like a custom the days before new years eve. I protect my mailbox quite well and sometimes I have to defend it from nasty people who stop and try to steal my items.

So sorry about the issue with your mailbox. Possible a paid storefront mailbox is a good idea for awhile, if that is possible for you.
About a 2 years ago, we had a rash of mailbox thiefs. It is funny now (wasn't then) but instead of breaking into the mailbox, they sawed the mailboxes off and took them. They did this in the middle of the night. Each mailbox is metal and has a set of 9 mailboxes in them. A total of 3'sets were taken all over the neighborhood. Eventually they did track the thiefs and found the empty mailboxes in some cheap hotel.
But my point is if they really want your mailbox contents they will take it even if it's the entire mailbox.
Once again evidence of Charons care and compassion for all concerned, and you'd be right about most locks are a joke just barely good enough to make the miscreants move on to the next poor soul, I recently helped an elderly neighbour recover his car keys from the boot/trunk of the car as he'd locked them in whilst removing his shopping and after a little research like 10mins I went out and bought a specialist tool available to anyone and having never seen such a thing before let alone used one, it opened the car literally as fast as a key with no damage at all I was blown away! But he was so grateful and a valuable lesson for me too on how useless most locks are. So do be careful people locks are at best just a visual deterrent. Love n respect.

I think we are talking like big time Fed Law enforcement heavy penalties.
"Mailboxes are considered federal property, and federal law (Title 18, United States Code, Section 1705), makes it a crime to vandalize them (or to injure, deface or destroy any mail deposited in them). Violators can be fined up to $250,000, or imprisoned for up to three years, for each act of vandalism."
Idiots will end up in Leavenworth or worse....if there is such a place 
Yes that's right Popster !
Messing with the mail can lead to very serious consequences if caught.
More than one would want for the deed, I would think.
Good post, Popster.
geeze i once locked myself out of my car as i had my kid and quite a few of his cousins. being careful for so many made me nervous.
so, i called the police. one must sign a waiver that they will not sue if the cops break ur door.
well, whatever tool the cops used, it did break my lock. my handle. bah.
but, one time, when i became an attack dog trainer before law school, i was leaving bronx and going to manhattan and we were bussed to brooklyn. i dated the former con whom drove the bus. thank god.
because, the witchy women whom worked in the School of Animal Arts, knew i came there thrice a week in full legal attire. and i changed into a dog training outfit.
so, to be witches, they locked me in the place and turned off the lights. the bus was outside.
however there were five attack trained dogs loose in the building. i did my best to get the cops to get the owners unlisted number. and the cops tried to unlock the police bar on outside of building to get me out before i was killed.
they could not. but thank god for the ex con i dated. he was able to break into the attack dog school and get me out. My hero. Those three witches for fired for deliberately putting me in the way of trained attack dogs.
Some locks only a criminal can open easily. It is good to have a trustworthy former criminal as a friend sometimes. The cops were too innocent. Those three witch women should have been put in the stockade for deliberately doing that. argh.

Thats truly horrific and I'm sorry you had to experience that. I honestly despair at the human race sometimes, some very messed up people in this world.
