ACTION ALERT: Mail Theft

Hello everyone,

There has been several thefts from curbside mailboxes in our area. Please be alert if you see anyone in your area who is going through other people’s mailboxes. Call the police non-emergency right away.

Be safe. Take your payments to a secure mailbox. (BTW – it’s a Federal offense for anyone other than the US Postal Service to remove mail from your mailbox!).

This is what to do if something like this happens to you.  

File a police report first. You will need case number for the bank affidavit.

Go to your bank in person. You will need your account number, photo ID and all check numbers that may be effected.

If applicable, bring the original invoices that were to be paid - to match the Payee and check amount on the stolen check(s).

Make sure the bank will allow the police to receive copy of their video footage – without your approval the police having to file a warrant to get it.

File an online Mail Theft report with the US Postal Service (USPS) - Vandalism to your mail receptacle.
