Stickers on mailboxes?

[Woostar]

I noticed on Friday that someone came around putting orange stickers on a bunch of mailboxes in my neighborhood and nearby, including mine.

I know it's not USPS and I don't subscribe to any newspapers, so I'm stumped about why I've been stickered.

Does anyone have any insight?

I have white, orange and red round reflectors on mine. I thought it was the newspaper delivery.
Since you don't get papers, maybe it's kids enjoying the waning days of summer vandalism season....

I used to get a rainbow of colors on mine. Some were for my papers but then I found out that solicitors also place them so they know who they have already talked to.

U.S. Postal Priority Mail stickers with the word “Tumone”

Or were they just little ones?

No one should even touch your mail box except you and the USPS.

I would smack the #### out of any solicitors touching my mailbox!

Did you recently donate to the Fire Department?? They used to put stickers on our mailboxes letting others know that somebody already made contact with the occupants.

Thanks for all the input!

It's just a little round sticker on the corner of the mailbox door; believe me if they were vandalism level I wouldn't be so calm about it!

USPS didn't seem all that concerned when I called- pretty sure it's a violation of federal law to mess with mailboxes, though.

No one's been by wanting money for any reason recently but I guess it could be someone marking for a follow-up visit. Regardless, I'll be peeling it off... If someone legitimately needs it to be there they can ask!

They used to sticky note mine. I hated that.

It's a sign from the all mighty Obama himself.

My trash pick up company uses them. Have you gotten a new trash service?

I may have a low post count but I've lurked long enough that nothing surprises me around here.

Nope, trash is still the same and my neighbors have different companies and were stickered too.

It's gang related. they are tagged for destruction. Like mailbox baseball, in this case differrent colors represent different scores.

You have been identified as a registree for one of the main political parties. This dot tells the SEIU union members who'll be patrolling the neighborhoods on November 5-6th whether to knife the tires on your automobiles or escort you to the polling place.
