Huh. I haven't even thought about mail theft in years.



When we lived in RI in the early 80s there were two brothers in
the neighborhood, ages 4 and 6 or thereabouts, who would break
into the cluster boxes we had. They'd tear up the mail and throw
it around on the street. When a postal inspector visited their
house, Idiot Mother's response was "Well, what do you want ME to
do about it. Lock them up, why don't you."

Yet another reason we were not too sorry to leave what had once
been an idyllic neighborhood when the chance to move to Colorado
presented itself.
