The reason is to get the keys to these new postal box centers they are installing in neighborhoods. No door to door delivery any more. All postmen have a key and one key fits every box everywhere. Yes there is a standard skeleton key for all the boxes.
Call your congressman.
2020 was a bad year for postal thefts as well, coincidentally.
One more way liberal ‘elites’ give the shaft to everyday Americans. More billions for Ukraine I guess - they know how to ‘pay back’ our corrupt public servants.
Undocumented reparations.
I work for USPS, that key will only work on specific boxes, whether it’s 2 or 200, they will replace every lock that key fits. Just have to watch every box that uses that key until the locks are replaced. Some deliveries won’t be made until the lock is replaced. That’s what we have done when we’ve lost a key. Still it’s gonna be difficult to stop the theft of some boxes
Well that will be a lot of felonies. Apparently the USPS don’t mess around with that.
In the 1920s the US mail was getting robbed, Marines in pairs were sent to ride with the mail. Their standard orders:
“To the Men of the Mail Guard, you must when on guard duty, keep your weapons in hand and, if attacked, shoot and shoot to kill. If two Marines are covered by a robber, neither must put up his hands, but both must immediately go for their guns. One may die, but the other will get the robber, and the mail will get through. When our Corps goes in as guards over the mail, that mail must be delivered, or there must be a Marine dead at the post of duty. There can be no compromise.”
Mail robberies stopped cold

Like any of our worthless pols are going to do anything about it.

Worked at the post office for ten years before retiring . I don’t remember this ever happening before , though I wouldn’t be surprised if it did. Even when I worked the projects the people there were usually very nice .
“$150,000 reward for the arrest and conviction of those responsible”

Gavin Newsome and every other demonrat politician in the state.
Now, where’s my $150k?
