KOLD 13 News in Tucson reports that forty-nine million Americans over the past year have had their mail stolen, according to Security.org, and 19% were from Arizona. This story includes a lot of tips… and a great video clip of the surprised thief when he sees the camera in the mailbox:
Peoria homeowner captures mail thief on unusual mailbox camera
If you know of such a mailbox camera, please leave a comment below (you can be anonymous) or send me an email with the "Contact Us" form at the right edge of any page on this blog. I'll update this blog post. (By the way, I wonder if a different kind — a zoom camera mounted on your home, with a sign on the mailbox saying “You are on camera!” — would be more effective at preventing theft… but not as fun!)
Update (September 3, 2024): Today's post Suspected mail thieves caught with AirTag has another clever way to catch a mail theif.
