In France, you have to have a mailbox on the perimeter of the property, so
even the ones you buy in a shed have a high-security lock.
Despite this the postman has a special master key that
opens all mail boxes so he can put small parcels in that
are too big to go through the slot. I can't help wondering
how freely available such a master key is. A crooks
delight.
