We have that stupid lock box thing as well. Our mail person leaves it sitting wide open, with everyone’s credit card statements and other bills sitting there for anyone to take. I have called the Post Office before, only to receive a nastygram in my box saying that I should confront the mail person directly next time. So I tried that, and she got really angry, and now she does our box last. LOL, most of the time I don’t get my mail until about 6:00 PM, whereas, before I said anything it was always there when I got home from work. My neighbors would probably kill me if they found out I was the one who said something, even though it was their information I was trying to protect. She still leaves the box unlocked all the time, too. I hate the USPS.

I have the key to mine. I suspect if you live in a condo, the PO set it up that way so the mailman doesn't have go door to door to drop of the mail. Instead, you go to your assigned box and unlock it to pick it up. Its inherently secure. Of course, it also eliminates the need to walk to the familiar blue drop off box on the street corner. All you do is push your send mail through the outgoing mail drop slot on the box lock box.
