Mail theft is nothing new, but there have been other incidents in the news recently. Earlier this month, for example, Solebury Township police reported multiple thefts of mail from homeowners’ mailboxes. In one of those cases, thieves changed the information on a check (called “check washing”) to change the recipient and the dollar amount.

Solebury police discouraged residents from putting outgoing mail in their mailboxes. They noted that thieves often look for raised flags on mailboxes to know which mailboxes have outgoing mail.
