Good excuse to tell your landlord. My check got stolen with the mailbox.

The mailbox in front of my nearest post office gets so full after the weekend that sometimes you can literally grab some mail when you open the handle because the mail is overflowing the box. I guess no one has done that yet.

Thanks so much, Aeran.


What intrigues me is that with all the electronic stuff the post office has, and with all its surveillance, they do NOTHING to track complaints of disappeared mail. They just go on obliviously until one day they find some renegade carrier with duffel bags of mail in his basement.

Man Allegedly Used Change Of Address Form To Move UPS Headquarters To His Apartment

It is much easier than standing on the corner trying to sell drugs. Apparently mail theft is the new, hot crime wave.

A lot of drug addicts these days would go to mailboxes in rural areas and fish mail out of the boxes. So the USPS is warning people not to mail checks or money orders at night and do so in the day time before mail pick up times posted.

I honestly have not mailed a check in years, every check I write is either handed in person or electronic.

I don't own personal checks.

I wish I didn't need to but I find myself needing to use it at times.
My mom's maintenance bills for instance. They only accept personal checks!

Those new tiny slit mailboxes are better.
