Had a job booked in today, house divided into 3 flats. One of the tenants
has complained that another has stolen his mail, so the (remote) landlord
asked me to fit 3 exterior mailboxes.

The landlord obviously wanted each mailbox keyed individually, so he gave me
three Argos catalogue numbers for three entirely different mailboxes.

Didn't have time to get to Argos earlier & typically one box was
discontinued, one was out of stock & one had a changed part number.

Finally managed to sort this out & bought three mailboxes each completely
different from each other. Different price, shape, size, finish.

Having been caught out by Argos before, I unpacked each one in the van
before I drove away to check for missing bits.

Unbelievable. Any of the keys would open any mailbox.

Identity theft? Easy! If your chosen victim has an Argos mailbox. No
security whatsoever.

Are these people completely thick?

Local security centre solved the problem. Three identical mailboxes all
with completely different keys.

Don't buy an Argos mailbox if you want any privacy.
