Perfect Storm for Apartment Mailbox Theft

Dreaming about your tax rebate check? Best that you sit down and breathe deeply.

Mail security consultant Roger Frey of Dallas says ” The Bush Tax Rebate will coincide with normal IRS refund mailings starting this May. Hundreds of millions of paper checks will be delivered by the Bush rebate, one to nearly every mailbox in the country. I forsee a disaster.”

“Worse, all these checks will be sent within a short three-week time period. This is the perfect storm for mailbox thieves”, says Frey.

Not worried because your apartment mailbox looks secure? Think again! Apartment and commercial mailboxes may be particularly vulnerable – visualize dozens or hundreds of checks delivered all at once – as many haven’t had USPS-mandated security upgrades.

Contrary to their substantial look these older mailbox installations can be opened easily without special tools. View the attached video to see just how easy it is.
