Mailbox
Crime Alert Update
There
is concern over paperwork stolen from mailboxes and unlocked
cars. It is currently related primarily to identity theft,
where the thieves are looking for social security and bank
account numbers. This is a federal crime.
We
recommend four things:
1. Do not leave mail in your box any longer than you have
to,
2. If you are going out of town get that yellow card from
the post office and stop mail delivery OR get a neighbor
to get your mail,
3. Take all OUTBOUND mail containing checks directly to
the post office, and
4. Use direct deposit to your bank account whenever possible
(social security checks, IRS rebates, etc.)
These
incidents are reported to other neighborhood security groups
at the May Zone Two Citizens Committee meeting. |
