*Tips to Avoid Mail Theft*

Mail theft continues to be a concern citywide. Below are some tips to help
avoid becoming a victim and to keep your mail and information safe:

·        Try not to put outgoing mail in your mailbox. Instead, take it to
the local post office or drop it in one of the blue U.S. Postal Service
collection boxes.

·        Don’t leave mail in your box overnight, and check it as soon as
possible each day.

·        If you’re expecting credit cards, checks, or other valuable items
to be delivered, ask a trusted neighbor, friend or family member to pick up
your mail.

·        Consider getting a locked mail box at your residence, or a post
office box.

·        If your mail is stolen, report it immediately to the U.S. Postal
Inspection Service at 877-876-2455 <(877)%20876-2455> or online at:
https://postalinspectors.uspis.gov

·        Consider signing up for the U.S. Postal Service’s free Informed
Delivery Service, which allows you to see what mail you will have
delivered, gives tracking information if available, and allows you to offer
delivery instructions. Visit: https://informeddelivery.usps.
com/box/pages/intro/start.action to learn more.
