I don't trust using U.S. Mail
I don't trust using U.S. Mail. Stolen, thrown away in dumpsters, neighbor down street getting my mail, in a bag for weeks in a trunk, different guys delivering mail in the dark and sifting through the box then throwing the bag back in the box, yeah. I knew shit wasn't right.
Remember, Trump appoints
Remember, Trump appoints Postmaster General.
USPS needs to
come up with a digital lock system.
The key the carriers use opens every blue and green box as well as banks of mailboxes in apartment buildings.
It's logistically impossible to change every lock in the region.

Arm the Mail carriers ?
Because of scumbags like this guy,
Dumb ass robbed a federal worker, the FEDS are much better at getting convictions.
It's too bad the TWO Police officers watching the Feeny Brothers laying some pipes a block over didn't catch wind of the robbery..
Or go back to neighborhood cops
That walk through neighborhoods weekly, know the kids as well as those the people that are hanging around the neighborhood and be able to help prevent or catch criminals by having a closer relationship with the community.
And judges, hold people accountable !
I knew I saw another report
Per the globe a mailman was also robbed in Randolph.
