It's your mailbox, but thieves don't know boundaries. Even if you get mail every day, would you know if there was a piece missing or stolen?
Roland Solano and Jose Antigua were caught in ATM photos depositing checks not written to them. Postal Inspectors began tracking the duo after complaints from customers about not receiving their mail.
"When we looked at that, those checks going into this account, matched up with the address and name of the victims of the people that say they had not received mail or the mailbox had been pried open," Adam Fascio, a US Postal Inspector said.
Using the photos, authorities were able to identity them. Both men were arrested.
But here's the lesson in all this, the people were paying attention to what was and wasn't in their mailbox. You need to track important mail and know when your bills are supposed to arrive. Another idea, if your mail box doesn't already have one put a lock on it. Then if you notice your mailbox might be damaged, report it to the post office.
