Anyone know or have a clue?

Don't have any idea if this relates to your area, but that type of system is used by newspapers to identify daily vs. weekly delivery and different periodical publication deliveries.

We have 2 colored dots on our newspaper box, by the mailbox, I think it is for what newspapers you are supposed to get.

They’re part of the FedGov’s experimental Dangerous Seditionist Identification and Tracking (DSIT) program. Coloured dots help local, state, and federal dynamic entry agents determine who will require being dealt with first and who can be saved till later. Green means “docile individual,” blue means “some seditionist leanings,” yellow means “gun owner with definate treasonous leanings who reads Free Republic,” and red means “bust their door down and shoot their dog NOW!”

Run. You’ve been targeted for alien abduction. Those boys from Rigel-7 don’t mess around.

Are you responsible for Global Warming? NASA funded researchers have warned us that Aliens may be targeting us for attack. Be safe, brother! ; )

You should have gotten 3 red dots. Freeper, gun-owner and global warming denier! We'll put in a call...

Wish I could tell you - call the post office perhaps?

Newspaper route guys use them to denote what newspaper service you get, e.g., none, daily, weekend. etc.

[Shqipo]

It's based on the Fascist Green Folder doctrine.

Blue is protected. Yellow will be immediately terminated. Green will be worked to death. Red will be assimilated. What color was yours again?

[OldMissileer]

The dots on mine correspond to the three newspapers I receive and what days I get them

[Reagan69]

Rip them off and see if you get a knock at the door.

[The_Media_never_lie]

You should not be concerned at all unless you find a red and green dot at your house.

[BobL]

Do you own a gun?

Your mailboxes have boxpox. Consult FEMA and the CDC immediately. Garage doors and trash cans can get it.

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

The HOA Nazis have determined that you are receiving “unacceptable” mail?

[DouglasKC]

Yup...as many others said they are there from newspaper delivery people. Different papers use different reflectors to know who to deliver to without having to constantly check addresses. Speeds up delivery for those who are paid by how many papers they deliver.

[CGASMIA68]

why don't you ask the newspaper/mail carrier or the cops?
In my area before leaving for Fl for 6 months, the paper guy did it to tell who was away/out of town and to not deliver.
I rode around and noticed them on other newspaper tubes.
I called the paper and told them I wasn't thrilled about advertising my absence with a reflective dot and to remove the dot.
He said he couldn't it was their system.I went out and pulled the newspaper tube out of the ground and called the same guy and told him to pick up his “tube” and cancel the paper permanently.

Yellow? You are scheduled for arrest pick up in phase II.
