MAIL USED TO BE A RELIABLE WAY TO SEND LETTERS, BILLS, AND PACKAGES ANYWHERE ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
JUST PUT THE MAIL IN YOUR BOX AND RAISE THE RED FLAG.
BUT NOW…THE USPS IS WARNING OF A RISE IN MAIL THEFT.
SOME CALLING IT A MAIL THEFT EPIDEMIC.
SINCE 20-18…ROBBERIES OF MAIL CARRIERS HAVE MORE THAN TRIPLED…
AND AGGRAVATED ROBBERIES OF MAIL CARRIERS QUADRUPLED.
ITS PAYING OFF BIG FOR THE CRIMINALS.
THEY’RE NOT ONLY STEALING PACKAGES AND MONEY FROM BIRTHDAY CARDS OR USING CREDIT CARDS SENT FROM YOUR BANK…
THEY’RE ALSO TAKING YOUR CHECKS…WASHING THEM…
AND WRITING IN NEW AMOUNTS AND NEW RECIPIENTS.
A PRICELESS PAYDAY FOR A MAIL THIEF.
THE REASON THEIVES ARE GOING STRAIGHT FOR MAIL CARRIERS IS TO OBTAIN THEIR MASTER KEYS.
GIVING THEM ACCESS TO A MASS AMOUNT OF MAILBOXES AND USPS DROP-OFF BOXES.
THE PROBLEM IS WIDELY KNOWN…WHILE THE SOLUTION TO SECURE MAIL…REMAINS THE MYSTERY.
