    Exclamation Mail Theft beware.

    got home today from work about a half hour ago. having a smoke in my garage and i see our community mailbox with some of the flaps open. wtf?

    walk up to it and it looks like half the mailboxes we sticking open. further looking at them seems like the notches to lock the boxes have been ripped or sawed off.

    waiting until 7am now to message a customer service agent with Canada post to report it.

    ohhh mail theft is a Federal Crime...you should have called the RCMP.

    Theft of mail is an indictable offence under Section 356 of the Criminal Code, carrying a maximum penalty of 10 years in jail. "It is a serious offence,"

    Early in the pandemic we had someone steal n95 masks out of our mailbox that my wife had ordered on-line... mail theft is a bigger problem than people are aware of.

    That worries me. I'm always buying online and mailbox is about 6" big so rarely stuff goes in it, Comes right to me door.

    Have a huge box at the door the other day. My tripod shooting stick. Not wrapped or anything and says DEATHPOD right on the box lol

    I had a dog harness ordered and stolen from my front porch. It had my phone number and dog's name on it. Hmmm Hard to believe how someone could use that.

    I trust Canada Post as much as I would trust Trudeau. I have had them throw parcels in the street and we receive about 75% of letters. It was getting so bad I had to tell everyone to stop mailing checks, shopping cards etc for my kid's birthday as they would never show up.
