Missing from the Mail Theft article is how the thieves got into the drive up mailbox. Can you please follow up on this?
Also, related, I lived in Silicon Valley in 2004 when our neighborhood was hit by a rash of mailbox thefts. Thieves would simply empty mailboxes in front of our homes hoping to find checks or financial information to steal.
I led an effort to convince my neighborhood of 400 homes to replace our mailboxes with locking mailboxes.
This helped but we still had a few instances of thieves using tools to break into the locked mailboxes.
I mention this story because I fear we’re going to see the same behavior in Farragut.
Be forewarned.
