Anyone know this person?

Surely you jest ...
Very unusual, I have never seen anything like that. Does your post office have a key to acess the inside and put small packages in? Or is it designed for like the ones at the post office that you pen that top part and slide the mail and then tip the door closed?

I looked a bit, try 'Mail Boss'. Amazon carries them.

Thanks for looking them up and posting a link. I think that many posters here will find it useful. Since I personally do not care what gets stuffed in my mailbox, since it's mostly bills, I am just fine with my old fashioned one.

Yes, there are days when I wish my mailbox had an "incinerator" accessory.

Made me think of this commercial. I love the shredder mailbox.

I am just curious as to how you were even able to hear me at all? As I clearly recall I was typing, reading and responding. You made an assumption that clearly backfired and you don't even have the decency to say that you made an inappropriate comment. I was very clear that I had no issue and it was quite fine with me that we did not agree. Taking into consideration that you were up as well and participating in the thread, should I have suggested that you also sober up as you must have clearly on a bender too? One last point, you were even so confident in your incorrect assumption that you even alluded that there must be many others that deem your posting skills as so much more clear, educated and logical than mine, yet no where have I seen anyone back you up on that.

Before I go, I would like to give you the opportunity to receive the credit you must feel is due to you. Take a moment or two and raise your right hand off the keyboard and hold and stretch that arm out and all the way up above your head, as if you are reaching for the sky. Next casually bend your arm at the elbow allowing your forearm and hand to gently fall behind your head. Next place your hand at the top of your back. This last part is the important one, give yourself a few good pats on the back and spend as much time as you need to validate yourself for being an arrogant biatch. Have a great night. :coffee:

You can suggest anything that you would like. I trust my instincts, and I can usually tell when someone is off their handle

It's the Internet, right?! I don't need credit from the Internet or pats on the back or backup.

Passive aggressiveness is always a sure sign, and it is displayed well here in your post.

The suggestion wasnt really directed at you. It's directed at those that are paranoid that someone will steal their mail or open up credit cards in their name because they can't find the time to read the opt out message at the bottom of every pre-screened credit card offer.

I don't have a problem with the wiper blade thing assuming my car is in a public space. Hell, I've put my car into car shows, and those people put upcoming show flyers in your car, detailing company cards, etc.

I do, however, have a problem with someone slipping a card in my significant other's purse/bag/suitcase. That's their personal space and should not be violated by someone looking to drop off a business card.

Did the paper have a number on it? If so, give them a call and ask them to stay the #### away from your mailbox.

I don't think it's paranoia at all, but rather concern. I disagree with some of the posts here when bringing up federal offense, etc. I have found business cars and flyers on my mailbox.

Not saying that you are suggesting this, but some of these topics quickly devolve into blaming the victim. Example - When I lived in TX, the cops used to come to your door or call you if your garage door was open. On the local forum there, people would come out with the pitchfork if you happened to have something stolen from your garage or your lawn mower from your yard (yes, it happened) . It was your fault for leaving your garage open or daring to take a bathroom break while mowing the lawn.

You open the door at the top and tip it closed.

What about sugar packets?

Depends, what is in said sugar packet?

IMO the over reaction wasn't from you, it was other posts. All the hoopla about a federal offense, being violated, etc. were over the top to me. Sure it's a federal offense as it is if your mailbox is destroyed by a bat or whatever. But if it's such a heinous crime, why isn't the county government responsible when they mow it down with a snow plow? I don't know how many times I had to replace mine because it was destroyed by a county snow plow.

My mother has had several taken out over the years, always get a new post and put it back up.

Nope no number, just that his mixtape will be out this summer for the low, low price of 2$.

I have always expected it at car shows, it is common place and unless it is roped off most people have no issue with it. However i have a pet peeve about people touching my vehicles when I am not around, say in a parking lot or at an apartment complex. I have had a friend who had some creepy guy try to drop a business card into his gf's purse while she was shopping, she went off on him and he ran out of the store. As for the mailbox, sure it is a victimless crime like so many other things. However I have had random checks that were not expected come from places like my mortgage company, or hell we just got one when we bought the truck for a refund on registration fees. Also, tons of junk mail.

As for mail men and UPS people being random, true point. However they are being paid to do a job, and while some do snap and do strange things to mail or packages. They are working on behalf of an organization to provide a service, a level of trust is instilled into them to complete the job for compensation. I see the mailbox as a sort of personal space as well.

They might need to know its unlawful to put things in peoples mailboxes, so yes they should be reported. If they do know the law, and ignore it, then they may think its ok to break the law. Or is it OK to steal a candy bar? 'cause its just a candybar?
