Woke up Saturday morning to go for my run/walk. As I got to the street I noticed my mailbox door was open. I figured it was some type of prank as I had closed it securely the afternoon before. Last night I checked out the neighborhood facebook page. It was lit up with comments about the mailbox bandits. Some one had cleaned out the mailboxes in the entire neighborhood!
A jogger at 4:30 am had seen a white Lexus in the neighborhood driving slowly without its lights. He was able to take a picture and get a partial of the Florida plate.
This morning after my jog I opened facebook and it was filled with information with a police arrest in Douglasville, Ga. Three guys from Miami driving a White Lexus were found in possession of a $16,000 check belonging to one of my neighbors. They had targeted our neighborhood and one in Mtn. Brook, Al. They had over $100k in checks and a car ful of mail.
Apparently, this isn’t rare. If you have concerns, you can sign up for informed delivery at USPS. There they keep a scanned copy of all the mail you should have received for the last week.
