The two post offices I use in Huntsville and Madison Alabama have removed their outside boxes…
Just another trail-marker on the path of the decay of America.
My main post office in town now locks the opening to the
outgoing mail container, at all non-operational hours.
I used to drive down at 10 or 11 at night, to just get it
in the box.
No more...
Our civilization is cratering.
Sounds like the FBI needs to get of their lazy butts and set up some stings.
But ballot drop boxes are safe????
Pay without work! And Saving Democracy!
Rather than fighting the decay, we are adapting to it. I’ve noticed many examples over the years.
“Let’s go, Brandon!”
They don’t want to pay the mailman to pick up the mail so they tell customers to not use the box.
So we non criminal citizens have to check the calendar and the time of day and furtively look around for thugs in order to use a common mailbox? I notice one new mailbox has a firm slot that doesn’t move in and out now. Must be to keep the nasty fingers of criminals out.
Don’t tell me America hasn’t fallen under the Dems.
In other words, check the collection times on the blue USPS collection boxes and drop your mail not far before those collection times, and never late at night or on days no collections are made from a box.
However, if everyone pursists in that, the thieves will likely change their activity to daringly raid the blue boxes in the last half hour before their last collection times. Likely they’ll even have a fraudulent USPS decal on their vehicle.
I always just include the post office on my daily errands when I must make a mail drop to them, which is not very often at all. They also have a blue box outside, but it is under an obvious surveilance camera.
Everything the gubmint is involved in has turned to sh@t!
I read a little while back that they are telling people not to send checks anymore, even if you take them inside to mail. I guess postal workers are stealing them. The corruption is spreading everywhere.
Somewhere in this once great nation, Postal servant Newman is smiling!
Residential boxes on the street are no longer safe either. Theifs will follow the carriers and steal what they just delivered.
I sent 2 certified return receipt mail, 3 days apart to the same address April 18,2023.
Maryland to Virginia. Both had 60 day lease notices, thank god I sent another FedEx overnight to fulfill the 60 day lease notice.
I reported missing to both shipping Post office (I used 2 different post Office). 4 in person attempts.
Filed paperwork, online had receipts.
To this day March 2004 11 months later both the CERTIFIED MAIL WITH RETURN RECEIPTS are still missing.
Post office said they don’t have enough info....
MORE THAN LIKELY IN HOUSE STOLEN.
Around Dayton, Ohio, there have been multiple instances of mail carriers being robbed of their keys. Some have been caught with mail they stole from boxes.
They should install decoy boxes with vicious feral animals inside,an angry baboon, a bag of rats or something.
Thief opens the wrong box and gets a Wild Kingdom moment!
For a few years it has been unsafe to leave outgoing mail in my home mailbox or to us the outside USPS collection boxes. When we have outgoing mail we take it to the post office and walk it inside to deposit. All financial information now comes electronically instead of via USPS. Checks we have electronically deposit. The few periodicals we subscribe to are in digital form. Little comes to the house in the mail anymore except junk mail - ads, solicitations, and political garbage.
We live in a society where the rights of criminals, slackers, and the mentally deranged have precedence over the rights of citizens. When there are no standards in a society there is no respect for property or other people. When the justice system is corrupt, criminal behavior is rampant. When institutions collapse, so does civilization.
