I was just watching an American film and thought, "Why don't kids steal everyone's mail?" In the UK, most people have the mailbox INSIDE the house (or simply a letterbox opening in the front door). Surely kids are tempted to nick American mail, especially as it's right on the street.

Not enought time to read the whole thread, so maybe someone already said
this.

I was a mailman for part of a summer in 1966, and got a week's training
first. They knew I would likely have a different route most days.

They told me never to give the mail to the person, because once in a
while someone will take mail for someone he is not. And to be sure to
put it in the box. There were a mixture of apartments and houses on the
route and most houses had exterior boxes. He said it was illegal to
take mail from mailboxes (Maybe that just means the ones that have U.S.
Mail embossed on them, but maybe it's any box set up to be used by the
mailman.)

They do make boxes that lock and have slots to put in the mail, and I'm
seen hundreds of them but none have ever had a lock on it.

Anyhow, I'm 70 years old and I've never heard of kids anywhere stealing
mail from boxes for fun, but there have been quite a few cases (1000's
out of 1000's of millions checks delivered) when probably adult knew
when welfare or social security checks would be delivered and they were
stolen and fenced.

That's why the SSA pushed direct deposit, and 2 or 3 years insisted on
it. No more checks in the mail. Welfare departments have issues
credit-card-like cards that they recharge, so no more check in the mail.
I can't think of any weekly or monthly check that comes in the mail for
any large group of people.

Most of the mailmen that have had my route over the last 33 years have
given me the mail directly even when I was off my property, because
they've met me.

And I have a slot in the door becuase the previous owner put it in, but
it's wonderful. Not becuase of thett but because I can go away for 2
months without cancelling the mail. I just have to push the door a bit
when I get home. Actually I think I could go away for a year and could
still push my way into the house.

It can be frustrating to walk the few hundred feet to the mailbox
and back to the house, only to hear them drive by a few minutes later.

When you look and see the flag down you know mail has went by.

Our mail box is not visible from our house. By the time I'm close enough to
see the box, I might as well walk a few more feet and check it for mail.

No biggy, I need the exercise anyway.

Southwest Washington State, out in a rural country area.

When we first moved here we had lots of problems with mailboxes being
destroyed with drive by baseball bats. I had to replace our box 5-6 times
the first few years. I also made a pull out area for the mail carrier and
moved the box off the road a ways. That seemed to help make it not so
convenient for the drivebys.

Thankfully, whoever was doing it grew up or was finally caught. We haven't
had an issue in over 20 years.

If you are having a mailbox baseball problem, get the large size, or
some other appropriate shaped "form" wrapped with rebar and with some
sticking out the bottom. Set the standard box inside it and pour this
solid with concrete. Set that on a 8x8 concrete block "post" with the
cores doweled and poured solid with concrete. Set your rebar tails
from the box in the wet concrete. My neighbor did this in Md and
totaled a corvette that veered into it. The box had a lean to it and
the block was chipped up a bit but it was still there.

Best to check your local highway codes first. Here, anything within a
certain distance of the centre-line is on the public right-of-way, and I
suspect there are rules in place against dangerous structures in order to
ensure safety of the motoring public as well as public employees.
(snow-removal, etc.)

Regardless of codes, if someone ends up dead because of something stupidly
dangerous your friend constructed, your friend can be sued. Also, whoever
owns the land can be sued. (i.e. state / municipality).

Not a lot of snow removing here in south Florida and when the Corvette
guy tried to sue in Maryland, it was quickly pointed out, the damage
was caused by his speeding and losing control of his vehicle on a
residential street. If he couldn't miss a mailbox, what if it was a
kid on a bike? They quickly folded up and left.
If anyone wanted to say anything to me about building a hazard in the
right of way, I would quickly point to the royal palms that are
everywhere around here and the live oaks the city is planing right
next to the road on US41, a federal highway with a 50 MPH speed limit.

Yes, they are common for cats, mainly to stop the neighbour's cat from
eating your cat's food. I've never seen the point myself. Why spend
£100 on a door to stop a 50p can of meat getting taken?

Cats learn. It's unlikely to be just one can.

I'm not concerned about the neighbor's cat, but about the raccoons that
leave a much bigger mess.

It would take a long time to save £100 of food. And why be so mean? I accept that all cats eat each other's food, just like your kids stay for dinner at their friends' houses.

In fact my cats get fed by my neighbour, and she doesn't even have a cat!

For some reason most people who fit those leave them on the default

It that one detected things on the road it would be useless for
detecting packages on the porch. It wouldn't take more than 5 minutes
before it came on. I'd learn to ignore it after checking the porch every
5 minutes or so.

Sometimes I can tell when the mail comes by sound (vehicle starting and
stopping frequently) but other times I'm busy or out back and miss that.

If it's a parcel I usually hear the back door of the van slam shut.

I may want to set up some kind of switch that turns on a light if

Do you get lots of deliveries after dark?


Maybe once or twice a year, the mail delivery is that late. This has
nothing to do with the light I mentioned, since it is an indicator.

Presumably he meant you wouldn't see the light come on in broad daylight.

Mats may be what I want, especially if they're not so sensitive as to

I could not find a definitive answer on liability but there have been

While taking down the vitals for a soon-to-be mom, I asked how much she weighed.
"I really don't know," she said.
"Well, more or less," I prompted.
"More, I guess," she answered sadly.
