Hi,

I live in a flat where the letterboxes are a bank of 7 at the front
door. They all have normal letterbox flaps but the mail falls into a
fairly shallow box and is easily removed from outside.

Some of my mail is being stolen from my letterbox - before I get to it,
and I am reasonably sure that someone is having a go at identity theft
or similar.

The simplest answer would be 7 new letterbox fronts, (i.e. the flaps +
surrounds), which are too narrow to get fingers through, and with a lip
on the inside so the letters fall below the lip.

I can find lots of normal letterbox flaps, but none that are narrow, nor
with the security lips.

Any ideas??


Many Thanks

have your mail stopped at the sorting office and collect on saturday mornings.


Thanks for that - it is one of my options, which I may well do - or I
could have it redirected to an alternative address. However, My
experience of instructions to the Royal Mail is that they do not always
follow them. It's also a PIA if you are either expecting a particular
item of post, or if there is none.

I would like to try and prevent it at source if I can as, I need to take
steps to solve the problem for the other tenants when the other flats
are let.
